Hello Pascal -

I just hope they find something better than water to cool these
things. Water + electricity = bad (IMO). 

There is also much serious discussion that the mechanical hard
drive has outlived it's usefulness and should be replaced by
rows of flash cards (or something similar). I for one won't
miss the mechanical hard drives one bit. 

Blank CDs are often cheaper than floppies so we can get rid of
those too. 

Should make for a quieter computer if nothing else. :-)
