Thanks, you're right. It should be milliseconds, not miniseconds. :-)

The technology on flash memory is evolving so rapidly, no one really
knows what we could expect. For example, go to the USPTO web site and
do a quick and dirty search on "flash memory" and "Liauh", and you will
find at least 11 patents. There are always those little bitty things
that are constantly invented to improve the read, and more particularly,
write, speed. Remember 7 or 8 years ago when we thought the EDO DRAM has
reached the possible speed limit of dynamic memory cells? Current flash
memory is almost at the same stage of the EDO DRAM.

And 15-20 years ago people would ahve insisted that 2400bps was the maximum
theoretical speed possible over POTS :) I guess you'er right. People are
insisting that flash is pretty mcuh completely evolved and any improvements will
be incremental at best, but it only takes one major breakthrough!
