Oops! I was mixing and matching the capacity comparison with the cost comparison. Someone has probably corrected my math by now. That'll teach me not to try math before sipping my morning coffee. That's 1,142 times the capacity, at roughly 1/7000 the cost per gigabyte. What a difference 12 years makes. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
