Hard Drive Memory Lane

It might be worth reminding everybody that the head rides a minute cushion of air as the platters whiz by below them. Take the air out and you will certainly see "werid things happen". Ever read the specs to a harddrive as far as the operating conditions go? Has a lot due with air pressure. Drives even come with holes so that they can "breath" at different altitudes and temputure. Back in the day... with my Tandy 2000 and 20 meg drive, you had to run a program telling the drive to park the head; meaning to place the head in good spot to land as the disk slows down when you turn it off. If or anyone takes upon themselves to operate a dirve in a vaccum, take pictures and/or video. I wanna see it.
Yes, the price of Windows has gone dwon considerably. However, you need Windows 2000 Pro (2 proc), Windows 2000 Server (4 proc) or Windows 2000 Advanced Sever (8 proc)
I personaly want to get a dual sledgehammer.... but then i wouldn't need Windows 2k
I can only hope they would make it all run on IPv6.... which brings another question to mind, if they start it out on IPv6 (duh) how will addresses be assigned? I could imagine the city giving out 10.X.X.X and selling public routable addys, it just makes one wonder.

I have had a method similar to this work under linux... just make the ide subsystem a mod and remove it (disable the conroller) and swap, and insmod :)
