	not to be a stickler for information, but it looks like i've
	been living in a cave.  i WAS going to post somethiing like:

		``in 3 to 5 years when they have flash/SS drive
		with 64G...'' blah, blah.... 

	and already this one with the intel Atom processor claims to'
	have 40 gigs now [!].  it doesn't seem that credible.  the last 
	time i checked the 2G sticks were common.
