Many years ago on Beyond 2000 (or towards 2000, I can't remember) there was talk of using crystals to hold unimaginable amounts of data but the whole program went hush with any information and all of my searching on Google has failed to turn anything up. I'm guessing it went into military hands and that's where it will stay while we work with ever unreliable flash drives and other outdated technologies.


I still have many programs on 5 1/4" floppy disks, I should pull out and old drive and an old operating system (on old hardware) and see if any of it is still accessible.


I dislike the cloud, it interferes with my astronomy and photography!
