Why am I reminded of the dieters advice, do not eat anything bigger than your
head? Maybe it's cause I've been spending too much time lately hacking on
server farms, where each box has 512MB RAM, and we've got scads of 'em just
'cause we want to make sure we don't run short of horses.

If I see it, I sluurp it. Sluurp.

How do you replicate a system disk drive? Sluurp, spit.

It grows on you, it does.
