People won't soon treat flash drives as throwaways.  For mass software
distribution, or for making throwaway copies of data to pass to other
people or to archive, DVD still has a role to play.  But it's not likely
to see much use as a *working* storage medium -- it's too small and too
inflexible by comparison.
