Notes from the printed article (generally about hi-def DVD
technologies) about Tapestry -

63 x the capacity of a DVD
ROM or recordable (no mention of HDD RW capabilities)
Claimed 50 year archival life
Could be viable by Sept 06

I gather from the article that disks are intended for the mass market,
cf CDs and DVDs. Probably pay a premium for them at first
