I don't how soon we'll be able to get the kind of optical technology to hold that many data equivalent to the entire three professional-quality LOTR EE films in one disc. I doubt it will be in the current 4.5-inch size.
For now, you might as well buy one of those DVD changers.

Only if it forces me to buy a new DVD player that can read a BluRay disc. I don't mind upgrading my PC with new hardware every few years, but not consumer electronics.

When I was doing SIGINT work in the USMC, we were using 286s. We went from 5 Meg to 20 Meg HDDs within a span of a year. We were duly impressed with how fast technology was moving. LOLTruth Seeker said:
Of course we were still printing out message traffic on 3 layer carbon paper (with actual carbons in between) and seperating everything by hand for distribution to the various units. The new "big idea" was moving to a paperless comm center by putting everything on floppys....that's 5.25" floppys btw.

Okay, me must apologize, this thread was sorta 'hijack'...I think me first
, so to put back on track.
Is anyone planning to have a party at home in watching all of LOTR, me is just going ta veggie in watching all of it again...in extended by widescreen, by 5.1 sound, viewing by 27" inch screen, in glorious 16:9 compression.
*I knoweth, there is greater powers that exist beyond my meager settings
*
(Did I go techno again???)
Okay, okay...knowing that in three years, there will be a Ultimate Set (hoping), what will be the viewing time...as I said in the news thread, I am hoping for 14 to 15 hours. I know, that is a bit much, but dang...it would be GREAT .
I am one of the few, who never read the books, and honestly, I don't think I will...I am willing to take as canon for the movie representing the books (don't scream, I know there is a Major difference), but the movie does come close in some quarters.
And yeah, keep it civil.
