The backup problem

There's also the backup problem, and the possibility
of losing a hell of a lot of work if you get lazy
or careless.

I've been **pretty** careful about this -- a half-terabyte
disk drive and USB enclosure costs -- what -- $475
these days at CompUSA?

But I did have a 300 GB drive (being used as a cd3o
server disk) go belly-up recently. Fortunately, it
was backed up. I re-formatted it, and it seemed
to be OK, then it went belly-up again!

It'll be nice to have something like this:

"Fuji Photo, CMC Magnetics and four other companies
have formed a consortium to develop Holographic
Versatile Discs (HVD). These discs are expected
to hold up to one terabyte of data each. This is
enough space for over one hundred movies on a single disc."
