With 64GB solid state drives going for around $150 in single pieces (pricewatch.com/hard drives), the electrical price of commercial and residential computing is going to plummet while effective speed skyrockets. I’m planning my next computer around 2 of these in a RAID o configuration so’s I can cheap the CPU and motherboard and probably never notice the rig’s not ‘state of the art’. 😉

We keep hearing about the imminent arrival of non-volatile RAM with speed comparable to volatile, and hence instant-on with full session restore. That’s what I’m holding out for. Of course, I won’t be able to afford it until it’s been knocked down into the used bins by The Next Big Thing, so I’m not sanguine, even with the exponential speed, we hear, of technological advances, of surviving until the day!
