Incidently a day after your post on comments referring to Alan Shugart on the Dec 12, the co founder of Seagate Technology has passed.

I remember my first Seagate drive - E-Stat 05:42:37 12/14/06 (0)
it was a WHOPPING 20 mb unit that I put in my first PC, an original five slot IBM PC using dual 360 kb floppies. I found it utterly amazing that such capacity could be put in a 5.25" form factor for only $600 (1983 dollars) when the minicomputer I used at the time had 14" multi-platter drives.
I believe it is only a matter of time before computer based jukeboxes will completely replace the concept of a CD/DVD/SACD "player".
