Reflections on life at “De Witte Wand”…
Another advert about storage. This time from Hitachi, extolling the virtues of a new way to store information on microdrives.
So, I ask myself, why on earth would I ever want to listen to 30,000 songs? Still, the pseudo-70s feel of the soundtrack brings back some nice memories.
Update: Hey, I managed to beat Gizmodo by 3 days!

Hi Geoff,My iPod is increasingly filling up with spoken word (either ripped Real audio from e.g. BBC 4 – In Our Time etc or audiobooks from CD, e.g. Hitch-hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy). A single "song" of spoken word easily fills up an entire audio CD. As a result I’m running out of space on my 40GB iPod.Now of course, a question is when I’m going to find the time to listen to this all, even as a "retired stiff"…P.S. Following your example, I have created an MSN space too, however I do not intend to blog for the time being,Cheers,Jim
Hi, Jim. I suppose you’re right – after all we both remember the "640KB should be big enough for anybody" days. Someone (can’t remember where I saw it) wrote recently that storage is beginning to flip from the centre to the edge – in other words, there will be more storage in connected clients than in the central servers.I saw your plekje – let me know if you do start adding stuff to it… Cheers
