Yeah thats all and good but can it power a Flux Capacitor?

I think you'll have to ask Dr. Emmett Brown that question

If it could you, would have known the answer before you had even thought about the question.

Very cool. I don't keep up with tech as much as I should, but it sounds like non-volatile flash memory will be the next large storage (and performance) breakthrough. No moving parts also means long life due to less wear. And cooler temperatures. And orders of magnitude faster to read & write.

eefanincan] just wait 6-12 months 'til the price comes down. Or you could hit the lottery in the meantime... (The latter is my plan.)
