Doesn't OS X support around 127 USB devices or so? He should snag over a hundred of the floppy drives, connect them all together using tons of hubs, stick in all the disks, and then see how it performs. A pretty zippy, and bulky, compact flash card! Brings a new face to portable usb media. -Rob
Two of you have posted that it works great on phoenix. I can't seem to get it working, and I've tried posting it here and there. Where exactly does it go, and is there a checkbox to enable in preferences or advanced prefs? Anyone give me a good demo site? Thanks! -Rob
Perhaps this is why AMD is branching away from CPUs...
Seriously, no home user could ever need all of the power of today's machines for e-mail, web, writing, finances, etc. Unless you're doing home video or something similar, or want an amazingly fast game machine, you're fine. Sort of a bummer, though, can't exactly use the "Mom, I need something new..." excuse anymore. I'm still having trouble justifying a switch to an iBook (from an eMachines tower / pc), since I'im fine for productivity with OpenOffice and Mozilla right now. Seriously can't think of anything I've used the computer for for anything other than Web, Writing Papers, Tracking Finances, and Playing some dumb games... I digitized a movie recently, tht's all. I would have been happy on my old P1 / 75. As soon as Joe consumer realizes this fact, manufacturers are screwed.
It's unfortunate this guy didn't slice open some underground power lines and zap himself and his backhoe... He wouldn't be around to cut it again when it's time to harvest the potatoes.
Since the IPO seems open to everyone who has $2000 to open the account, I'd like to do this... (If I can convince the folks...). I think even disregarding the growth potential of Andover and linux (and there is a lot of it), the possibility that some huge monopoly (those folks at microsoft) might come up with the (4m shares * $15 = ) $60m worth of pocket change to buy out the company and I'd get a better stock price or a share swap.

Wouldn't the momentum of slinging a rocketship forward at several km/s totally reverse the path of the B-52? Seriously.
