It's not the fault of the technology that it is new and expensive and doesn't degrade the quality. I never meant to imply it was a viable option, however, it is certainly the future. With Intel putting out SSDs now that have more than 2.5 times the read and write speeds of the fastest HDDs, it's clear to see that the technology is soon to take the place of the incumbent technology. I'm just dissenting your comments that seem to imply SSDs have numerous problems that may possibly put it inferior to a standard hard drive.

Off topic: Speaking of future technology... if anyone hasn't had a chance to see the 22" HP TouchSmart, then you should do so. If that's not a glimpse into the future, then I don't know what is.
