Hi Jarrett,

It is good to hear a differnt point of view ;-)
One thing that I feel makes a big difference when it comes to SSD's

I have a couple production machines installed running Mach3/Windows with
CF cards as the drives - there are some ways to grab part of the the

minimize writebacks to the drives. These computers are going on 3 years
running 24x7.

That's the good news. The bad news is that the port was specifically for
MeeGo and the 3.0 kernel. I gather from the wonderful world of Google
