        Until you realize the impact it has on battery life. At least the upgrade from a 40GB 4200rpm drive to a 60Gb 7200rpm drive sucked the power from my system. I'd never go back, the performance boost is way too dramatic. I hope this means that you will be able to finish the next version of the site quicker. :P

            Personally I think happiness will be the day I can replace the nearly full 80GB 4200rpm drive in my laptop with a 500GB 10,000rpm one, but then I always was an idealist... ;P Anna :rose: Riverblade Ltd - Software Consultancy Services Anna's Place | Tears and Laughter "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch "Anna's just a sexy-looking lesbian tart" - A friend, trying to wind me up.

                                      The advantage of having poor spelling, but a poet also.... you are always in doubt if the spelling mistake was a mistake or deliberate. :-O thus the later reference to 500gb 15000rpm drive. ;) _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

                                        But SATA II offers hope that eventually 15000rpm hard-drives may make the desktop market.... of course their price, limited size, and incredible heat makes them limited in application. But hey, I didn't list price in that list before. ;) _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh.
