Why didn't they give it to someone who would push it to its full potential?

[Joe Gronlund]

[Bema Jinn]

You may be surprised how many old geezers are cruizing the internet, even using vB. ;)
Barreling headlong past my prime, my only concern is that my 'expiration date' will come before IT developers make available what is already feasible.

It sure would be nice to have brightminded futuristic thinkers and perhaps a wad of money at one's fingertips to make tomorrows' dreams todays' reality, but most of us just need to bide our (remaining) time till it becomes affordingly available to the masses, with hopes that we will be able to partake in the next generation of cutting edge technologies. :)

I'm already saving up for my future state-of-the-art scooter with enhanced audio accessories. Hearing aids that go up to 11!

Hehe lucky "girl"...

BTW ... Nice to see so many 'senior' members on this board ;)

This giga jump pneumatic pogo stick (http://www.vurtego.com/) looks like a lot of fun.
Propel yourself over 7ft off the ground!
At least in some areas technology is progressing in leaps and bounds.
The more adventurous we'll be able to hurtle through the air whilst browsing the internet on the fly.

Forthcoming model - a quadraped 'pogo walker' for the geriatic dispositioned. ;)

Talking about casting pearls before swine. ;)

Is there hard drive which can provide such a speed to read/write data? I think no. The fastest hard drive , which is SCSI Seagate Cheetah 15k.5 provides maximum transfer rate at 135MB/s, which equals to roughly only 1.3Gbps
The article is about 40Gbps that looks impossible. And there is no network card faster than 1000Mbps. There is no such a standard. :cool:

There are always RAM drives.
