And if you're REALLY wanting to drool and slobber -- Maxtor is
supposedly sending C Ltd. a 1-Gigabyte optical read-many/write-many
drive, so that C Ltd.  can write an Amiga driver for it. With
removable media, yet (so that you can have many gigabytes of storage
handy, if you so desire).  The price tag on the thing is supposed to
be something like $2600. The only disadvantage is that it's fairly
slow, comparable to today's cheap 20mb and 30mb drives.

Yeah, I'm watering the lawn over it (talk about PERFECT for massive
video applications!).
