Storage breakthrough?

["Robert J. Bradbury" <bradbury@aeiveos.com>]

You may be interested in the development of holographic
data storage devices by Optware [1,2].  The media may be a bit
pricey due to the dichroic layer but at 200-1000 GB/disk
it will probably be worth it.

At least in a couple of years it looks like one will be able
to store the TASS database on a much smaller stack of "CDs".
It would also appear likely that libraries are going to get
significantly smaller...

On a different topic... can someone send me information
on the current data reduction hardware and CPU load
requirements.

Robert
