Yep, although I'm somewhat annoyed at myself for not giving you and ShadowAce an extra "for your lists" ping after the main list ping. Oh well, sorry about that...

Regarding the SSDs and heat, I'm actually not real sure what I think about this "issue".

If the problem was one that most users would encounter in normal use, we'd have heard about it in spades before now.

Something about this smells fishy -- not "untrue", but overblown.

Well, my low-duty-cycle laptop with an SSD for the past year has been okay, but it doesn't get hot... I guess I'm one of those who's in line to find out.

THIS IS WHY GOD GAVE US DUMP(8) AND TIME MACHINE AND ACRONIS AND OTHER FULL-IMAGE BACKUP TOOLS.

Know what I mean? SH*T HAPPENS. All kinds of sh*t. This potential problem is only one kind. If you have a computer and you don't do backups you are asking for it bigtime.

So far, I'm not turning in my SSDs -- I like the quiet speed and low power. And I do backups already anyway.
