Removable media are coming way down in price, too.  Tend to be slower, but
can be extended indefinitely.  I recently saw a 2.1-G system advertized @
about $200 for the drive & (I think) $30/cartridge...

BTW, on a tangent: People, when discussing software please mention which

about every imaginable platform...
