    I always fancied the idea of logs being written to CDROM
in realtime...
I dunno if todays CD writer hardware is up to it tho!

Hmmm or maybe a write-once filesystem? But then if its magnetic
media it can *always* be altered after its written.
Looks like optical is the only way to go, only its too slow.
