Retail pricing
It is that value that justifies a price - $18,000 - that will keep most of us from buying ourselves an early Xmas gift. The quantity 1 media price of $180 for 300 GB looks expensive to us, but quite reasonable compared with the cost of 35mm film stock and long-term storage.

What is the physical medium for a holographic storage system?  Semiconductor?  Oxide?  Ceramic?  Magnetic??? (not likely this, I'd imagine).

I bought some stock in this company at .50 a share.  I'm curious to see if anything ever comes of the technology, but I liked the concept.
