At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) last week, SanDisk unveiled a 32 GB Flash Drive that functions at about 100 times faster than the average hard drive.  The cost is about $600, but that price should drop fairly quickly as they become available to the average guy -- beyond the military and space applications that it has been used in to-date.

Imagine with me the silence of our current computers (desktops and laptops) when (if) we replace their hard drives with these flash drives!  At least for me, the price will need to drop quite a bit, but I can begin to dream, can't I?
