Here's another one, while we're making blanket, unbaised statements Mazin, why don't you have any real profile information? 1337 was once a registered team, in I believe Germany, that never competed. Yet you living in Indiana. You lack of personal information also pushes the idea you are willing to let the magic of internet annonimity prevail.
Lets also play with with this bit of information too. I have a 4 year old mac that can transfer over 20 gigs of information to an external drive in 30 minutes. Yet you, someone who has not put a face, name, team number, or anything behind your posts, brings up such head scratchers like the 20 minute 17 meg transfer.
I accept the input of those who don't provide information just as much as Billfred and others who have a face, team number, information, and I've met in person; but the point is my points can be refuted by you, just as we are refuting yours. You offer not much background information and just a lot of hoopla (HOOPLA!) to stir up muck. In my above 20 gigs in 30 minutes test I forgot to mention that it was from my HD to an external hooked up using FireWire 800 with nothing else running. And I can assume you post wasn't done under the same circumstances. My files weren't that many, and just a few large ones. You might have had a ton of 1kb files that added up to 17mb.
I have a machine that's 4 years old, runs faster, better, and is in better physical shape than anyone else in my class in college, and I paid slightly more than they did. I got MY value out of it. You get your value out of Linux or whatever the you're using. Don't argue about the machine characteristics vs. value when others don't share it with you.
Now, how about we get it back onto the path of the commercials again?
