Not really. It is maybe only about seven years since we all were buing
hard drives for just the same money per GB. The only problem is that at
that time one gigabyte of capacity meant something. However, I expect
that in a few years, SSDs are going to be cost effective for many
applications. We just have to give early adopters enough time to bleed
sufficiently for new technology implementation costs. :-)
