I remember reading, ages ago, that the ubiquitous 'memory tapes' they were always shoving into techno things on TOS were about the size of a 3.5" disk. And, after they started to become common, I remember thinking that USB 'thumb drives' were about the form-factor of the chips used in TNG. -- Thomas L. Kula | k...@tproa.net | http://kula.tproa.net/
