Howdy all,
Neat forum, glad Joel made thi addition. I read a while back, I believe about July 99 on www.theregister.com (http://www.theregister.com) that a British research group had developed a 2.3 TB hard drive that was the size of a credit card and almost no mechanical parts. I have since poored through their archives and cannot find it again. Does anyone have leads on this?
I need a large volume data solution that is highly transportable and that would fit the bill. But also could you imagine in the size of a Casio calculator watch you have 100 GB of storage for your Outlook mail, Word docs, MP3s, etc. and auto synchronization via Infrared when you walk next to your PC? Couple that with Liquid Crystal on Silicon, you could have a bright full featured display on your watch that tels you when you have meetings and such. If you really miniturize you could add in a GPS reciever that changes the time display on the watch depending on where you are in world and grabs map databases and shows where you are. You could even tie it in for your celephone/beeper. Oh I guess I got carried away with dreaming and I am drooling on myself now. If you know anything on the hard drive, I would appreciate the info.
