Completely agnostic as to objects, Persistent Storage would provide a personal, or group-oriented (ie within the institution) or project-oriented (ie beyond the institution) storage service that is properly backed up. There’s no claim that Persistent Storage would last for ever, but it must last beyond the next power spike, virus infection or laptop loss! It has to be easy to use, as simple as mounting a virtual drive (but has to work equally easily for researchers using all 3 common OS environments). <BR/>--------------------------<BR/>Jonty rodes<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.gov-auctions.org" REL="nofollow">auto auctions</A>Arunnoldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11587556128819767596noreply@blogger.com
