The discussion of SSD's is very interesting!
Also this aside:
And that one has been x86-based for the last few years (basically since
I decided that there was no long-term desktop survival for PowerPC -
when Apple switched away it became clear that the only thing that
could possibly challenge x86 on the all-important desktop was ARM).
. . .
I'm going to be very interested to see if I'll grow an ARM
machine this year or the next, but it will require it to be a good
netbook platform, and while the potential is there, it's never quite
happened yet.

A: Two, one to hold the giraffe, and the other to fill the bathtub
with brightly colored machine tools.
