And on a completely different subject, I brought up the 20,000 RPM hard drive rumor. I should say 'rumors,' since they're nothing new, but always seem more and more plausible. While Ted told me that he wouldn't talk about products in development, he was completely free to talk about products that don't exist. There's no way, with existing or planned technologies, that anyone will make a 20K hard drive. It's that at those speeds, it would be hard to control the vibration, even if the platters were only the one-inch variety. He mentioned trials (experiments, really) in hydrogen gas environments... it's just not on the horizon.
