>lousy for image storage
True enough. But the original poster didn't specify image.
> how do you see this changing?
Just as you stated - folks wanting to "own and charge for use of the format"
- also I've heard that .jpg2 or 3 or something will make former .jpg files
unreadable in ways similar to trying to read an early pagemaker file. Rumors
which I don't fully understand.
>boy - do you buy from Dell or something? Hard drive failure is rare

Definitely not a Dell guy. Mac since '85. All my external drives, with the
exception of one iomega-zip, have been MicroNet which stood behind their
product with great support all through the 90's. Never had a failure. Then
they sort of disappeared for a while. And when I went out looking for
external firewire/USB drives I saw they were back. Bought a 120 and an 80
gig. And the 80 firewire blew out in a month. Drive replaced under warranty.
And now about 2 years later I can't recognize the drive on any of the three
macs using either firewire or USB.
