Optical Drives (Score 2)

Magnetic Drives have been predicted to fade out long ago. Ever since the late 80's with the optical drives that held ~2gigs, magnetic hd companies struggled against the beliefs of the physicist. Engineers developed newer ways of making magnetic media more efficient, while the optical theories were more effective in the long run, the drive for magnetic media was more prominent, as were the funds. Lets face it....how many people own magnetic media as opposed to optical media. In the hardware industry, if there is funding and money, there is progress. MORAL: Support the optical media foundations around you. They will give you terabytes to loose files instead of gigabytes :-)
