With Hitachi's Perpendicular Recording Technology coming out next year, we will effectively have the capabilities for 50TB with of storage. However since all the hard drive manufactures do not want to flood the market with new technology, so they will be slowly releasing the bigger drives into the market instead.

Another thing that I would like to see is some more stricter qualification for computer technicains.
Firstly, the market is flooded with lots of computer techs right now. Now some do now that they are going on about. And there is some that are absolute amature hour. And the thing that annoys me is firstly I am compeating with some amature or uni student that values his time at about AU$30 on site. (I do not do service work for any thing less than AU$60 on site).
And if it's not that, I am cleaning up messes that some of these people have made on home users computers.

Now since a plumber, electrians or security system fitter needs a trade certificate to do thier jobs ; I feel that the same should be put on computer consultants that wish to hire out their services for repairing computers.
