	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.
