Opera,
The solid state drives exist, however they cost 10 times the amount of a standard drive of the same capacity. (If I remember the multiplier correctly. It could be 100 x but I'm not sure. I changed professions 1.5 years ago and I have not been in the IT mainstream.)
The drives are fast though. You click on an app and its running. Man I would love one of those. Hell if you ran the OS on a drive like that it would scream. Imagine pushing the start button on the computer and being @ the desktop ready to work in 1-2 sec!

I can see this technology really being put to use on laptops. Lower power consumption and faster data throughput.
Well I guess I will just be telling my grandkids what an Apple ][e was like.
