Subject: Re: GoMMC versus hard drive. Which way to go?

John, I wouldn't agree with you that physical h/d's are stone-age
technology as they're still used today...  

However here's why I think it's worth me shelling out for GoMMC:

1. The compactness  - physical h/d's are just extra bulk.  GoMMC's are
inside the machines.

2. Speed

3. The HUGE potential it has for upgrading BBC B/Master and using
modern applications

4. Ease of portability to modern computers.

H/d's on PC's or modern computers are good enough for me.  It seems
such a waste to be using GB h/d for 8-bit applications up to 512MB
only.  I tell you this though, h/d or GoMMC, there is a set lifespan
depending on how much you use it.  It's worth making physical backups
in case of error or failure.

Fiaz.
