Let me start off by saying I'm all SCSI and proud of it! And what isn't SCSI on system #2 will soon be.
The harddrive is the slowest part of a system and therefore 10K & 7200K SCSI hdds are a good bang for the buck, especially when you consider the 5 year warranties, multi tasking abilities and low cpu usage. I luv having files explode onto the screen like no other hardware or cpu upgrade can make a system do. Also, my SCSI devices are gonna be around thru many mobo, memory and cpu upgrades just as my 24" Sony monitor will be too.
Just because you may be a student on a tight budget or you're tighter than bark on a stump with your money, don't condemn SCSI or write it off as a waste. I believe most, not all, but most of the negativity toward SCSI spanks of sour grapes, or never having experienced SCSI, pure and simple! We all have our eccentricities, some more than others. What is important to one is not necessarily a priority to another.
You car enthusiasts, if you had the bucks what kind of car would you buy?? A BMW Z8? A Vette? A Viper? A McLaren F1? What the hell do ya need a car like that for? The speed limit is 70 mph. Speeding is against the law! Speed kills!
In my computer SCSI equates to speed and durability where it isn't against the law and does not take lives! I use to be into hot rodding cars, now I hop up the pc and my finger nails are much cleaner because of it.
You do a good job reporting the news NFS4, and stir the pot nicely when between stories!
