I think you would actually be wrong here. Last I heard, CD sales were
down again, and online sales only put a small dent in this trend. Not
that I feel sorry for the recording industry, but I find it hard to
believe they have not suffered from significant sales declines.

Jon did not predict that Intel would do this, however. Jon also
predicts he won't buy a flash drive of this size until it's really
cheap. I just noticed that 1 TB hard drives are approaching "sweet
spot" status on the mass storage spectrum. Yeesh!
