@ sir astral
I said "many" and "people" in my post. And you took it to mean that I only meant you.
Yet you quoted my post. Normally I'd say that's not a problem but you are behaving pretty anally yourself about people quoting you and you then take it personally. So either quote the person you are talking to, or don't but stop commenting if people do the same.
Since I had to pull over and deliver an english lesson, I at least assume that I am "better" educated than yourself in regards to #1 the english language & #2 technology.
You could probably teach me a lot about english american, I told you already I'm not from an english speaking country, so that shouldn't be too hard. I am however not a college dropout, but instead attended the highest form of education in a school that has no American equal, I guess it's somewhere between high school and university. So in that regard I can now for a fact say "I am better educated then you." I don't care much. You are definately better educated in the hardware department, I focus on software engineering myself. The fact is, all this matters not. I am happy to have a discussion with the baglady on the corner of the street, I respect her opinion just as much as anyone else's, I will certainly not argue with her that "I am better educated." By the way, I probably made some grammar errors in this post, please correct them with your superior english skills.
If you want me to stop patronizing you, then do not make responses to my post antagonizng me. Please do respond to my posts if you have some evidence to refute my claims. Please do respond to my post when you are actually talking about what I am talking about.
I'll tell you for the 3rd time then. I am not discussing RAM vs SSDs here! Apparantly you think that only people that want to talk about that specifically are aloud to post here. I'm sorry, I didn't know you were the owner of this board. If you'd remove all posts not about what you are discussing then you'd probably only have about 3 posts left, but please.. do go on about RAM vs SSDs, don't mind the rest of us.
Price is not the issue, Capacity is not the issue. I do not care if you are the worlds foremost expert on drive Geometry. You do not have a leg (or a spindle for that matter) to stand on!
Sadly I already agreed with your numbers, saying you were right. So why you must emphasize is once again is beyond me. Secondly, "Price is not the issue, Capacity is not the issue." Excuse me? I'll decide that for myself, and so will everyone else in the thread. Those arguments may fly for you, but some of us actually do have quite a large amount of gigs to store and not an unlimited income to throw at it. Once again you want to dictate what this thread is about. By all means, don't let me stop you..
You seem to feel personally offended very quickly, taking pretty much everything as a direct and I quote "insult". By the way you say someone else "started" the "insults". Whom are you referring to (OMG is "whom" right? You are better educated in english than me so please tell me!!) with starting the insults? I cannot remember anyone insulting you at all.
I will now leave this thread as it is getting more and more personal and less and less about a civil discussion. I am sure, sir astral, that you will want to have the last say in this, so by all means go ahead. To anyone else, I'm happy to keep discussing things in a new topic, but please do specify what the topic is exactly about, ie SSDs vs RAM, new SSD technology, 64-bit OSs, how much RAM you need, etc, so that we will not end up in this mess again.
