  1. it'd probably be a little faster. I noticed a pretty good difference going from a 160GB IDE 8MB Cache to a 250GB SATA300 16MB Cache.

    What does "faster" mean. I always hear about faster HDDs. How are you guys measuring the speed? Are we talking about seconds or milliseconds and what tasks are you talking about? Are you talking about search times, read times, or write times? Would the average person really notice any difference? What's a practical application that I could run and see/measure the difference in?

  2. I would guess that had Microsoft never come along, most of the bashers would still be in their rooms with a box of Kleenex. I'm still waiting for them to write the bizillion lines of code required for an OS and launch it, problem free and hacker proof.

    Rant over...... Carry on.

  3. Having 80 degree temps today ain't all it's cracked up to be, folks. We're expected to go outside and do physical work activities around the house while you people back east are able to use the cold and snow as an excuse to lounge around and prep for the Super Bowl parties. No doubt you'll be at least a six pack and a dozen wings ahead of us poor people on the left coast by kickoff. So please, cry a tear for us, Argentina.......
