This is true. We're looking at years before this sort of thing hits the consumer market.

Just keep in mind that...in 15-20 years, this stuff will be old hat and we'll be looking at getting them as cheaply as you can a CD-R now.
Remember that as little as 10 years ago CD burning on a personal PC was almost unheard of, and now DVD burners are standard on most mid-range PC's.
Also back in mid-90's a PC with 1GB of RAM cost upwards of $10,000 and had to be custom built by manufacuters. Now anybody can build a PC with 3+GB of RAM for a couple of Gs.
