Techn-o-my-god!
I'm a techie... no, not someone who watches Star Trek... ok, I do that sometimes too.
So, I browse around tech websites, ars technica, slashdot, sharky extreme, places like that. While doing that I found a site that was talking about dream PCs... they weren't very dreamy to me, I mean topping out at 1Gb of ram... pfft!
However, the part that caught my eye was the CDRW they chose, a Plextor that burns at 40x... that's as fast as it reads! Burns a full cd in 3 minutes. Excuse the techno drool, but that's ... wow.
