Tom,

I am well aware that there are significant reasons why this is a
"non-real-world" comparision [I worked at Veeco Instruments for a numver of
years developing IBE/IBD tools for the manufacturer of disk drive heads].

It is just an "interesting" comparision. A wall of RP06's is less than 0.5%
the capacity of a single IDE/ATA hard drive. You can now create tera-byre
arrays in a single 4u rack slot.

The ironic part is that I keep filling up the darn things faster and faster.
I remember when all of my work fit on a few DECTapes!


David.
