Well, one can always go across the street (in most cases) and go to office max, where the prices & selection is typically better. Maybe office depot is just doing this, because they need to clear shelf space for more overpriced products that one can get anywhere else for less.
Now only if we can get the drive to read or write to the platters @ 3Gbit/sec. Also, is that suppost to be 320Mbit/sec or 320Mbyte/sec for the current SCSI throughput, because if my math is right, 3Gbit/sec is 380Mbyte/sec which os what 60MB faster / sec then current scsi drives.
The only cashless socieity I see is one where people don't use money, in any form. Other then that, there will always be cash, and if there isn't cash, there will be gold.
Here's a idea, we have 5 shuttles, and several capusls, so we do have escape vehicles for the ISS. Here's a idea, launch 2 shuttles up to space, leave one up there, for a get around vehicle, and also a escape vehicle, bring the other one back with the crew. Because we don't need the 4 or 5 shuttles just sitting here collecting dust, we can use our tax payers money better. Or use one of those capsuls (one of those things that we used in the 60's). And then take the ISS, and start to do research, and get it to pay for it's self, through reasearch, sure we will have to finance it all, but hey, we do that already. All of the things that can come out of it, the space tourism, products, even advertisers. Get the private sector into it, because the government is to busy spending the tax payers money on pointless things, wasting time and resources, not taking care of business. Space can help elimiate the waste problem, lack of resources problems, and space problem. We are running out of room, well we have a infinite playground right outside our atmosphere. Go figure.

Wouden't it be nice if we built a spaceship to explore the solar system, and even the galaxy, insted of a lifeboat to save our asses?
