IBM 1GB Microdrive Review
A reader writes "MP3 Newswire has run a very good review on the 1GB version of IBM's Microdrive. One major improvement the higher-capacity Microdrive has over the older 340MB drive is that it consumes less power (the older drives sucked up the juice). The article covers the normal ins and outs of the product, but also touches on the future. Because flash cards and other competing storage media this small havent reached the 1GB plateau (yet) these drives are good enough to steal a large slice of the MP3 player/PDA/Digital Camera pie by simply slashing prices to allow, say, a tiny 1GB MP3 portable for under $250. "
the ipod has a small 5gb drive in it
Hmm... do you think you could bother to read the fucking article?
RPMS ARE EVIL, APT GET OWNS J00!!!
Oh, wait, my bad, this is a REAL discussion, with a POINT to it...
*walks away in shame*
I am !amused.
Armed with a durable laptop, 100 pre-assembled hot-swap RAID packs of IBM 1GB Microdrives, and an active Firewire Camera, we will find the illusive bigfoot and won't need to worry about running out of filming time as we chase him down an Me, Scoob, Fred, Daphne, and Thelma unmask that spooky monster-man of the forest! I just hope he hasn't been captured and filmed already at www.artbell.com
that's interesting, as i boiled mine in slightly salted water for 12 minutes and served it up with some sauce made from passata, basil and a little garlic.
the drive never worked again, but boy did it complement the flavour of that sauce.
It did!

I want BORG style brain implants. Connected to one of those.
I was stupid enough to buy a Sony made Digicam (damn nice Digicam though). I am stuck with those horribly expensive Sony Digital Memory Sticks!! AARG!!
Heh.
No way you'd fit a HD in those things footprint though. Man are they SMALL! After getting used to them I was shocked at how HUGE regular memory card seem to be.
Still doesn't help much with the fact that the d*mn things are expensive as hell though.
Then again the CIGARET ADAPTOR for the BATTERY for my digicam costs *$90* (!!!)
A new battery only costs $60, heh.
