:) Chrome sucks on the laptop, compared to Firefox. Freezes, because it uses all the CPU. Firefox, not even close. FF is using 40% of the memory right now, and about 3-6% of the cpu.

Raid 1?

DD: 96 gigs of ram enough? Possible to run a Raid 0 with two SSDs? Either worth considering? Any speed gain a human would notice? g

Thanks. Trackball mouse is in, and hooked up. Feels kind of cheap compared to the old Kensington trackball I had, but, it's not 150.00 either. The whole thumb thing is going to be a new kind of coordination for me to learn. Which is great. Need challenges at my age. Thanks again. Turned the...
