It works; I stopped using it a long time ago due to size limitations. My guess is our good friend Steve doesn't want to sell it off, and sense some people are willing to pay extra money to have a pretty apple sticker on there they won't get rid of it. But I seriously doubt they are picking up many new customers.

My guess is the future for consumers is external hard drives and DVD-R; enterprises will have remote servers and giant tape backups like they always have. The internet was never made for storage.
