Ah, yes, that was the key to this site, then. it said that with
their newer, faster speed--i think at least double--the response
time moved from a slow crawl to a walk. i use konq because it
has festival as a builtin. --after a hard day, there are times
when the last thing i want to do is read-with-eyes some dense,
boring document or man page. solution is to mouse-swipe and
have it read to me. o/wise, i'd use firefox3 like most people
do.
i'll post this page if i ever find it again; share the good news.

man, truer words never spoken! do you have a url with this
new SSD info. this really would help save energy since there are
so many hard drives spinning [[Everywhere]] just burning up the
gigawatts.
this could very well go-viral.... no stim money needed. but
then i dont know, honestly, because i dont know what these guys
need. but, for sure, i'm going to have a min of a 64G SSD in
some notebook this year. probably this summer.
