[AccessD] More on SSD...

Hi Mark:

To make your super system it is more than just getting a pile SSDs, it is
getting the memory to work in a specific way and that requires a special
piece of hardware: http://www.violin-memory.com/products/

The price AOL quoted was $20 per GB, much cheaper than $250 per GB as quoted
from Newegg.

John...can you please check your math ?
Didn't you mean $2000 per TERABYTE ?
If so, AOL got "ripped off"....hugely.
What am I missing here ?
