[CS-FSLUG] [OT] Organic Drives

[Tim Young]

Here is a link to one experiment of organic data storage:

There have been others out there, this was just one that I pulled up. 
The concept is something that scientists experiment with. I do not know 
of anyone actually releasing products with it. But there has been a lot 
of research into it.
