How to get the instant-on PC you've dreamed of
,----[ Quote ]
| Why does nearly every modern computer – whether it runs OS X, Vista or
| Linux – take considerably longer to boot than an ancient Amiga?
|
| With a hard drive, an Amiga could go from power socket to Workbench in around
| five seconds.
|
| With a modern multicore processor and a 12-month-old installation of Windows,
| you're lucky if your desktop is responsive before the kettle boils.
