Long file names in folders upon folders upon folders f**ks up everything.

Had a dude with a file that was like a sentence, which he put in like 40 sub folders... Oh god. That was a nightmare.

try tell that to the doctors and nurses mate.....they do that all the time....trying to fix something that they have "lost" is impossible lol

Abe, do you get many SSD's coming back for warranty claims?

Abe, do you get many SSD's coming back for warranty claims?

None, as we don't stock them, as they aren't main stream yet, however we can order them in for you, but warranty would be a real pain.

WTF - SSDs aren't mainstream? Given they have been commercially available for nearly a year and MSY sell out every time they get a shipment in, I would suggest otherwise.

I can however understand all PC shops not wanting to stock them - suddenly all the pos 3 year old PCs that are now a bit slow are sped up significantly with the addition of an SSD drive. Millions of people worldwide will not need to upgrade for another X years due to how much faster they make a PC. Even an old single core XP4000+ absolutely flies with Windows 7 on an SSD.

They purely aren't mainstream yet, they are still in their infancy as they are still trying to get better access times, price to gigabyte is shocking, they are purely for performance enthusiasts at the moment, until they become better priced per gigabyte.

Kingston SNV425-S2/64GB = $270

Kingston SNVP325-S2/64GB = $331

Intel SSDSA2MH160G2C1 = $933

Seagate 500gb = $85

WD 640GB 64mb Black = $121

WD Raptor 450gb 32mb = $448

WD Raptor 250gb 16mb = $240

As you can see, price to gigabyte, SSD's are not mainstream, UNLESS you are going for performance, then they are for enthusiasts.

So I decided to install Vista on my Netbook now that I got Windows 7 on the main machine, it seems to be running well, it even uses Aero I do think that the battery life will suffer though.

anyone know who is working @ modbury IT warehouse with a black R34

I do , I found out today but ringing up and asking, lol. The owners name is Michael, he used to work at the Blair Athol Store till it shut, and used to drive a Silver one apparently, now drives the Black one. Other then that I don't know too much, as the person I spoke too doesn't know too much about cars, all they know is they use petrol and brum.
