Waiting for noise
I’ve been around noisy machines for the last 20 years. It can’t be great
for one’s hearing…
A few tech innovations I want by 2010:
- no more noisy disk drives - I can even the hear the one in my TiVo. 10 quiet terabytes please.
- no more fans
- No matter how fast computers get, they still seem to take
a minute to boot up. I want my computer to come up as fast
as my Palm Pilot. Yes, I know it has to do a lot more. It’s
almost as if we need quad 10 ghz processors which are
only used to initialize the machine :-)
