Access 97 takes the prize for me. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was a lowly consultant making 45K a year and learned how to program in Access 97. Then my 30th birthday rolled around. I had a mini mid-life crisis and walked into my boss's office and quit. By god - I was going to make it on my own. My first independent gig was Access 97 programming at $50/hour. A few years later, I had pushed my rate to $70/hour and started to branch out and into other technologies. I'm pretty much out of MS technologies now, but this I'm hoping to hit $150/hour and beyond. Not bad for a guy who didn't know what a mouse click event was 10 years ago.

"virtually impossible" You keep using those words. I do not think it means what you think it means.

This sounds pretty cool - if your USB device can capture the stream as one of the other posters indicated - data rate might be too high for smaller flash devices.

The reason they don't build the storage into the device is that it allows you to swap storage devices. I see this as very useful when combined with a 2.5" 100GB 7200 RPM hitachi notebook drive in an external enclosure.

The only issue I can think of is powering all the devices - i.e. if you had access to AC power, this would be sweet, but if you are mobile not too good. You need battery power for the camera, firewire thingy and the storage device. Even if the USB port on the firewire thingy provides power (they would need a couple USB ports to power hard drives), its still gonna drive the hell out of a battery.

FYI - Article was very understandable if you understand the tech they are talking about. If not, maybe this is not the website for you???
