swap space

[eculbert]

IIRC floppies run at 150Kbs! Hard drives now days run
at a MINIMUM of 33 mb/s, most 66 to over 100 mbs.
Divide 33,000,000 by 150,000 and you get 220 times
faster for the 33mb/s hard drive faster than a
floppy!! Plus the other peoples comments still
apply..too small, and undependable.

Now days, 33mb/s hard drives are 'slow'!!

Did I mention, 2/23/07 the FCC dropped all cw (AKA Morse code) testing for any class of license as a ham? Just pass the written and "U's a ham"!! Many sites test online, but you have to go for the real test. $14 for as high as you can climb in one session.
