If the 16GB flashdrive costs 90$, and has 25 years data retention,
and the Blue Light Disk RW cost 10$ and has 100 years data retention,
Then one can predict the optical disks will be used for backup and simply
storage of data.

Blue light will be here end of this year perhaps, 16 GB FLASH memory will
not be here at an acceptable price end 2006 (more like >300$).

And yes I am not biased because I already had an AVI have a movie on memory
stick.
