Oh no. These guys were featured articles in machine design and
engineering publications. It is coming down the pike.
I figured by now we would have holo-cubes. The can read an entire
page in one pass, and there are several thousand pages in a cube.
Some guys recorded 10GB on a roll of shipping tape in Germany a few
years ago. Two lasers are needed. These guys' holographic recording
medium on disc are going to win out first, but holo-cubes are also in
the pipe. They can act like write once, read many RAM cubes.
