Yeah talk about drives are THAT important. Fiidling while Rome burns. The sky is falling and I am looking for opinions of how fast and what the impact radius of these Apple dictates changes might be and you want to remark in the color of the dust. Sure go ahead. No way I can stop you. Talk about a figure - ground schism! Sheesh! Even after someone tried to spin off the drive discussion in a courteous LEM user term compliant way. I can get over top posting. But thread hijackers and thread invaders still piss me off.
