Data Recovery History
Data recovery is a broad term that relates to the many ways to extract data from a damaged or inaccessible magnetic medium. Technology varies greatly, and there are no standards yet set for this type of service.

Computers and How to Build Your Own
11 January 2008 - NEW YORK - Days before the opening of the Consumer Electronics Show, Nicholas Negroponte's One Laptop Per Child program had an ugly fallout with its largest financial supporter, the Intel Corp. The battle between the two - a struggle to control the market for millions of low-cost children's laptop computers in third-world countries continued when both parties made stage appearances at the Las Vegas show.
From the pages on this site you will learn about the components that make up a modern desktop computer. You will also learn how to build one for yourself, install an operating system and other software and how to get the best from your machine.

Next Generation! Optical Security Card Data Storage Nanotechnology!
Rewritable 3D Volume Holographic Removable Card Data Storage is a new frontier.
Molecular dissociation following Thomas' patents cover methods for a non-contact photon induced electric field poling using UV space charge fields at the same wavelength as a molecular transition will create controllable clouds of electrons (polarons) in harmonic waves (Plasmon). Some organic/inorganic molecules have resonant valence orbit electrons that under the proper UV space charge field photo excitation will allow polarized conduction band electrons (polarons) to move freely for a short time (Popular Inversion). Plasmon known as spin polarized electric current (polarons) along with the electric field present provide a mechanism for ferroelectric perovskite molecules central atom to switch geometric positions. The unique concept of resonant absorption excitation by UV/Blue laser light illumination causing molecular dissociation and simultaneous electric field application ( Pockels effect ) can be used for writing 2D Area or 3D volume data so when it is read back having coherent interference waves in a beam of Soliton Wave photon radiation (below popular inversion).

Brief History of Computer Data Storage Media, A
Over the years, computer data storage has evolved from technologies that had applications completely unrelated to computing. New storage technologies were adopted from new inventions as their applicability to data storage became apparent. From punch card technology to magnetic media and finally to optical storage, each new media revolutionized computing by allowing more data to be stored in a smaller space, which naturally allowed an increase in data access speed.

Iomega Corporation, a Global Leader in Data Storage Products
The Iomega story began in 1979 at an IBM facility in Tucson, AZ, where four engineers came up with a radical new approach to an old problem: how to keep the read/write heads of a magnetic storage device from crashing into its rotating platter and causing data loss. IBM turned down their development proposal, believing it to be unworkable, so Tony Radman, Renee Radman, David Bailey and David Norton got permission to take their idea and form their own company. Iomega was born on April 2, 1980, and its crash-proof technology became the basis for the first signature Iomega product, creating the industry’s first high-capacity removable storage.
