we must talk some time in a chat room instead of tradein msg this is way to slow but tonight would not be a real good night I have to go to sleap eventually I have to go to college tomorrow you have a good night and rememeber where ever you go there you are

ah, a holographic drive isn't an optical drive actually...

anyway..

have a good day at school tomarrow and feed the organic puker between the ears as much as you can, just don't let anyone sludge on it to hold you back

I would enjoy chatting with you for sure, I have a few friends online and one here in town who get into it, what if, is the thought of the day for the most part

type you soon, be safe and stay loose

your right I know its not an optical drive but the report of the holographic drive when I read it they called it an optical drive, wouldnt a optical drive be a cd rom ???¿¿¿

in the classical sense, cd-roms and such are definitely optical drives, but they have moving parts, it isn't as if they are immersed and enclosed in the mechanism which reads the data...

So yes it is optical in the sense that it *see's* data, but not, in that it isn't a mechanical classical optical laser, lens configuration.

Caltech has a couple of good papers published on the subject also, I'll have to see if I have anything printed out with the url's on them and post them if I do.
