    I have had a PD drive for about a year now and I have seen nothing
    about it anywhere.  I really like the drive and was wondering if there
    is anyone else that uses one.  And is there anything that is likable
    and/or dislikable about the PD?

    I have been toying with the idea of getting a cartridge for each person
    in the family and letting them use it as a personal removable drive. 
    650 MB should be enough space for most and since it is rewritable I
    would think as time goes on the program mix would be able to be
    updated, just as on a HDD.

    I wish the cartridges were not so expensive, although $50. is a lot
    less than a HDD.  I had thought that the price would come down after
    another company entered the market with a drive but that does not seem
    to be the case.  I wonder why.  I guess that the technology just hasn't
    got the market behind it to warrant a reduction in costs and price. 
    Probably never will.
