And then there's "Hero". My wife and I have watched that 2 or 3
times since I recorded it. I must burn a DVD.

Burn them all and have done with it

Couldn't watch more than 5 mins of Hero

Barbarian.

Are we talking Jet Li or Dustin Hoffman here?

Its a new sci fi series, granddad

That would be Heroes, silly child.

No need to assume they'll stop at 4GB.

Try 64 gig ...

Those are SSD _not_ SD

And ???

Who breeds these bloody pedants ?

This is a technical group. Obviously not for silly children like you.

Sigh.

The TV series is called "Heroes", plural. And it's ****.

No wonder I couldn't watch more than 5 mins of it

So which one then, the one where Hoffman pretends to have pulled someone
out of some wreckage ?

I was more pointing out that the technology is available, not the
packaging

A wise choice, I've kept some CRT monitors because they respond faster
than LCD and have more accurate colour than LCD. No doubt LCD will catch
up at some point.

Or maybe OLED will fulfill its promise in the next few years.

And given a price of about £700 ish for 32Gb, and slow data transfer
rates, I suspect that there's still a lot of life left in disk drives.

The price shown on the web page is $350. Aren't you supposed to *divide*
by 2, not multiply? That makes it only a little more than twice the cost
of a mechanical hard drive, only a couple of year's worth of progress
according to Moore's Law.

I've no doubt that solid state drives will replace magnetic disk drives
at some point, just not that soon.

Solid state drives are pretty common in home video cameras already, and
probably a million times more reliable than tape. In fact I have a still
camera that can also record about an hour of video with better quality
than some of the early camcorders that were actually sold for that
purpose, so solid state electronics is catching up fast.

Rod.
