ah now we’re getting somewhere with some [I]real[/I] storage, not the silly discs we’re playing around with now as said in the article, holographic storage has been a mindbaby for over a decade and I can’t wait to see some real results :slight_smile: and after holographic storage, organic computing! there can still be Star Trek in my lifetime :smiley:
