a nice article about hard drives for those who may be
interested
Basically the author is pointing out that aside
froma few basic factors, the quantification of hard drive behavior is just
another one of those things we humans do - and marketting guys take
advantage of. (you know, offer some one 50 $1 bills or one $50 bill, people take
the $1 bills .. or put "Contains 73 Bm (Bergamots) of Juicetacular Flavor
Units!" on the package and people buy it coz even though it doesn't really taste
as good as Uncle Joe's Purple Jubes they'll convince themselves it does,
because.. you know - it's got SEVENTY THREE bergamots of Juicetacular Flavor
Units! )
