in reply to [OT] End of hard disks era, new ways of development

People have been predicting the end of the hard drive for decades now, normaly within a few months. People have been doing similarly for the end to More's Law with relation to CPU speeds for years. People have been predicting revoltions in the density of storage for years.

I'll pay attention when I see an ad for it from a reputable source, not as something that will be shipping soon, but as something that they are taking orders for. Oh, and go plot me a graph of the size of an average $200 hard drive over time. For extra credit, correct for varitions of the value of the dollar against the yen.
