Now, that's what I'm talkin' about.  Thanks, Timothy, for the info.

FWIW... to me, data stored on disk is data at rest.  It may not be all
the time, but I think that the intent of that phrase, as used in the
regulations, is pretty clear.  Whether they were correct in using it can
be argued, for sure, but....

Thanks to everyone.

Lots of other interesting stuff in that announcement (and other
announcements on February 10th), including Solid State Disk (SSD)
support.
