I don't care much for W8 so will use this old Vista LT until it dies. It's running much better since the System Recovery. Much faster also. WindowsMail is on it and since the problems were fixed by taking someone's advice on a forum, I'm using it for my email. Important email will be backed up when I'm forced to use the LT with W8. Your posting style is completely incomprehensible. Am I supposed to be able to tell who said what in the above quote? |

I only asked because SSD's have limited writes and HDD's effectively don't and email, like SETI@HOME and other BOINC projects, does a *huge* number of writes. I'd be reluctant to keep my entire email archive on SSD. But that's just me. Forget I mentioned it. J. |

Flash drives don't spin. They do when I leave them in trouser pockets and do some laundry. John knew that: "not spinning very rapidly" was humor (humour where he lives). Thank you for assuming I passed Physics-for-five-year-olds. Which I probably did. At three months. A spin rate of zero is "not very rapid" but it is still an entirely measurable and calculable spin rate. Science doesn't use language the way real people do. However, the electrons in the storage cells *do* spin, they have spin 1/2. Yerp. You have to rotate 720 degrees for *all* of your parts to have one complete rotation. If you only rotate 360 then many particles are "facing backwards" and get confused, angry and upset. I think I should add " " for the non-English. J. I suggest doing your rotation in four dimensions, which is a lot of fun. But be careful to take along a lot of food, since if you don't rotate again to get back to levulo stuff soon, you will starve eating the normal levulo food. You'll need the food that you also rotated, so it will work with your new dextro molecules. -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) |

I'm using OE from a Thumb or Flash drive. No biggee, so do most of us, me included most of the time, but it is nice to remember that *to* *the* *OS* *and* *software* most of the time all storage looks very much alike. Mostly. Sort of. If it squints. It's only when you get down to drivers and such that it matters. BTW... I always keep a backup Flash of important files. If I lose one or it gets damaged, I have the second one at home locked in the desk draw. I email files home where they're put on the backup drive. That's the daughter's job. I have several 4,8 and 64 GB flash drives. Floppies, DCs and DVDs are a thing of the past. We wish. Floppies may be as near extinct as it is possible to be by CDroms and their denser brothers, Blu-Ray and DVD are going to be around for *ages* in spite of all Apple's efforts to eradicate them. Even though they are totally useless for backups of 3TB HDDs they are still useful for moving stuff around and for movies and such. Ya know, you're right. I have loads of Mp3s on DCs I made ages ago and still listen to. They don't cross my mind for saving images, software, files both personal and for work or text. I don't give them a thought. Until Hollywood can get DRM that is completely bullet-proof they are *never* (save for special occasions) going to release stuff on SSDs. Nor should they as SSDs decay. CDs are not as good as M-disc disks for storage but they do the job well enough. I doubt we'll see anything better until we get the fabled "crystal storage" that has been promised for years. Those would be ever so cool. Crystal storage eh, interesting. J. See http://www.mdisc.com/what-is-mdisc/ for more M-disc stuff. |
