Early adopters form a line. Personally I don't need to spend over $3,399 on
a 128 Gig drive.

Interesting that the spec provided quote data throughput but not access
speeds.

I think I'll wait until it gets down to a more realistic $40 or $50. :-)

On a more interesting note, Solid State Disks are finally here and readily
available:

+disk

Yes, they are still expensive but even these prices are low compared to what
was available and these prices are dropping rapidly as manufacturing picks
up steam.  Dell is now actually shipping laptops with a 64 gb solid state
disk. 

We live in exciting times.

Hi all

Everyone seems so busy, so here's something for a relaxing weekend.

Predicting that in 2019 we will have the million core processor, you need to
use a language capable of parallel processing. Erlang is one. And it is free
and open-source:

  http://www.erlang.org 

Note chapter 3, Concurrent Programming, here:

  http://www.erlang.org/doc/getting_started/part_frame.html 

Also, a community exists:

  http://www.trapexit.org/

Have fun!
