Until we kept finding ourselves in this time warp we didn't appreciate how long a few minutes could be...nor how aggravating. I decided to upgrade even further and bought Samsung Evo and Pro SSD's. My computer now boots up in about 7 seconds and I'm on line in about 15. That's incredible. 15 seconds and I'm in my mailbox.
