When, if ever will blu ray drives become standard.

(Currently rwbd is $18 and rewritable dvds are ~$5). Not to mention that in the near future theres usb 3 coming, which makes external drives damn fast(600MB/s, which means that 50GB can be read in 1.5minutes, if drives just can handle such speed. :) ).

It will actually be 4.8 Gbps, or so they expect. I think they said Vista loaded in 28 seconds.

Feel free to divide it with 8 to get bytes instead of bits. I just hate how they use bits in everywhere to confuse end losers. :)

Thats one reason why I prefer mini laptops. Laptops just aren't for gaming and with those mini laptops you can do just about everything you need from laptop.

Unfortunately for me, none of the netbooks these days can run 64-bit linux thanks to atom (and I can't aford another panasonic). Almost all of my projects would be pain in the ass to get running. I need the ample virtual address space to feed my mmap-io addiction and coding remotely just irritates the hell out of me for some reason.
