Agreed. I also think the demand slope isn't linear. There's one price
that would capture "all" laptops, another that makes the Desktop
primary drive SSD, yet another that gets bulk storage. Just like LCD
TV had one price to get in my living room, but another to make it to
the basement area. And since these prices are different for each
person, the results are pretty interesting over time.

Also - I know enough to know there is a wear-out issue with SSD that's
different than the HD issues. I don't know if the constant write/erase
of a TiVo-type application makes the SSD not quite ready for prime
time in that type of use case. For me, eliminating the HD noise has a
pretty high value. (But only in the bedroom. Living room noise not as
big a deal)
