Problems like what? Anything that's new to the past 20 years?

I say that because manufacturers are well aware of the limitations of spinning platters and have been working to improve and reinvent things for decades. "ASAP" is a very subjective term and the current storage situation is not nearly so dire. There aren't newly-invented computing devices sitting on shelves collecting dust just because small and fast storage isn't available.

The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts. The only way to guarantee thoughtful, informative discussion is to write thoughtful, informative posts. AppleNova is not a real-time chat forum. You have time to compose messages and edit them before and after posting.
