Having looked at the chart, The hard drive swapping is going to get more..ahem..flexible. Hard drive are fragile beasts. A couple of week ago, I bought a 32 GB micro SD chip from a big name internet retail company. It cost me $15 USD. It would hold 60 hours of WAV files, or 90-120 hours of FLAC file and who know (at what bitrate) how many MP3 files. It can slapped between 2 pieces of thin cardboard and mailed just about anywhere at the cost of a first class letter, or carried anywhere.

More bother, but once again, untrackable.

The French government is finding out that stopping "piracy" is about as practical as stopping the tides...
