This is an interesting question, but isn't the RAID/NAS under discussion supposed to host backup files? So, if your RAID fails, you still have you original data (on another HD, or on another PC, presumably)? And if your original PC fails, your RAID is still working?
It would be a really bad day if both systems failed simultaneously. That said, this approach is still vulnerable to theft, fire, flood, earthquake, electrical anomaly, etc.
Well, it should be a big deal...I've been delaying my next Mac purchase until Leopard is out, so now they will be without my money for a few more months.
Gotta be a lot of people like me out there...
I agree, too. I was a professor for 8 years (even earned teunre) and claim that lecture time is way too valuable to be used for trivial "data transfer." That's what reading assignments are for.
Also, I was a undergrad/grad student myself for 9+ years. I didn't (and still don't) have a particularly good memory. However, by the end of my undergrad years I had stopped taking notes almost completely except for essential equations and tricky derivations in tech classes.

Yeah, that was the day the Internet died. Can Don McLean write a song for us?

Interesting theory, especially since the viscosity of sea water *decreases* with temperature. See: http://www.marine.maine.edu/~jumars/classes/SMS_48 1/Viscosity.pdf
