Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Yeah, that should work.
Probably not as well as you might think.
I once had a CD with a short crack starting at its hub. It worked fine for awhile, then one day it decided to come apart inside the CD drive. When a CD comes apart while at speed, it fractures into a zillion pieces. When I swapped out the drive and shook it, it sounded like it was full of broken glass.
The Mythbusters sped up CDs with high speed motors until they fragmented. 30,000 rpm sustained speed, IIRC.
Could be worse. Old reel-to-reel film, sped up too fast, bursts into flame.
Archiving's an adventure.
Leif destroyed my Harry Potter DVD. Not quite as tragic as The Princess Bride.
Does anyone know of a good guide/description to what ethernet routers and switches are/do that might be good for a non-tech savy lawyer?
Do you mean like how to use them in your home to hook to Broadband or like in general?
The hard drive upgrade went remarkably well. I now have 100 GB of very quiet 5400 RPM disk space where I used to have 20 GB of 4200 RPM loud disk space. Shoulda been willing to void the warranty YEARs ago! (just kidding, then i'd have been screwed when my logic board died last year.)
hmmm.... Wanna give the laptop 20GB HD a good home? hee.

I have been persuaded, and now possess a 30 GB iPod. Anyone want a possessed iPod? Now with added subliminal messages ("Echidnas are cool. Here's the interesting thing about side-blotched lizards. Octopi are your masters. Mole rats! The Queen, protect the Queen.").

in general, in the what does a company that makes them actually do sense.
