Let's try to be positive on the subject at hand.
Sounds like you are in the wrong post, mate.
Cheerio.Oops, I thought that this group was about hardware & storage. Please
tell me where I could find more knowledgeable people then.
qYou are in the right group. Folkert is just the resident agressive
(but not very bright)
Yes, he isn't, isn't he.
Last time he wasn't very bright he had the audacity to comment on how bright
you were when you said that Windows couldn't boot from USB because Win-
dows would need the driver to be able to access the USB device and that it
couldn't because the driver was on the USB device 'that it couldn't get to'.
How stupid can one be, right Arnie?
So Arnie, in your utter brilliancy, if you change USB to IDE (or SCSI),
how then does Windows manage to boot from IDE if it needs the driver to
access it and that driver is on the IDE? It boggles the mind, aint it, Arnie?
attack dog that tries to dominate what is being said here, like it was
his turf.
What Arnie means here is that he should be able to bullshit here -all to
his heart's content- without someone telling him that he is full of shit.
Ignore him.
Just like you do here, Arnie?
I have him in my killfile for quite some time now (years, I think) and
this group is far more pleasent without him.
Typical Arnie the Swiss ostrich.
Anyone who catches Arnie the babblehead on his usual brightness goes
into Arnie's killfile.
Still so bright that he is always responding to Roddles
though Rod Speed has been in his killfile for far longer.

Here is some more of Arnie's usual brightness:
"Hehe, that would be 480Mb/s, not 480MB/s. And that is the maximum
theoretical interface bandwidth of USB2.0.
The card will be much slower and if the card is *really, really fast*,
I would be surprised if you get much more than 15MB/s (=120Mb/s)
from the card. "
So Arnie, if 15MB/s is the top for a *really, really fast* USB card what
in your expert opinion is the top for a *slow* or *average* USB 2.0 card?
" Of course the reader cannot deliver data faster than the card...."
"Example: Many people see marketing claimes of 3MB/s for SATA II drives."
"First SATAII supports 3Mb/s (thats 12.5% of 3MB/s).
Second, that is what the interface supports, not the drive."
Arnie at his best when he is fully tanked up.
"In practice you get something like 60MB/s at the beginning of the drive and 30MB/s at its end."
"But if marketing would put these numbers on the drive, people would buy the "faster ones"."
Briljant, isn't it. Don't you love a good Arnie riddle?
Or this one:
" Is there any method to check - hard disk/cdrom/rev disk physical sector size.
Devices that have the capability of showing extra info and then go lie about it.
Who would ever figure that. Apparently everything is possible in Arnie world.
