Block and file approaches handle changing data quite well; CAS (and XAM) are geared towards fixed content (unchanging data). But I do agree with the stance that you are taking and the direction that your thoughts are going: concepts like CAS solve problems in ways that block and file cannot. Steve Stephen,
