Abstract
A storage device includes an electrically conductive storage medium and a probe having a tip that is electrically conductive. The tip is electrically contacted to the storage medium and is adapted to form a dent in the storage medium. The tip is also adapted to cooperate with the storage medium to provide a variable resistance based on whether the tip is engaged in the dent.
