The Forever Disk, part 2

Henry O'Connell of Millenniata contacted me shortly after I posted on the blog about the Forever Disk and we traded a couple of emails.

I'm glad to see that they claim that Alpha testing will begin in 2009 (according to their press release), though like all technology, I suspect it will be product later than the engineers and business people would like. With the push toward online backup and cloud-based computing and storage, I wonder what the lifetime of these technologies will be like - and how much in sales are needed to pay for the R&D. I suspect that this is not an easy business.
