Blank BluRay Prices Continue to Fall

I wasn't disputing you, p. When I think of "consumer" market (versus "enthusiast" or early-adopter), I have Joe Sixpack's technology buff brother-in-law in mind. We probably won't see these included in HP units available at Wal-Mart, but the home-build market should find $350 palatable for high-efficiency, long life-expectancy, massive storage. Guys like you, skiz, Art, and Idol (Idol gets included not for his knowledge, but he has enough disposable income to wear these as running shoes).

Sorry meg didn't mean to come off like that. I really should have been more clear initially.

Beck, you working at facebook now? http://arstechnica.com/information-t...e-data-center/That robot BD jukebox contraption is pretty interesting.

I retired 13 years ago, before I was 50.

There are a lot of folks that are betting on huge tape carousel setups to do the same thing, but obviously are much slower random access wise; I built several such for insurance companies many years ago, that I believe are still working, and in fact I did trip across another article that 'petabyte' (or higher) class of tape systems are being built right now.
