Good morning, John, another calm, rational, well thought out argument, I see. You've a great little dictionary there.
"The subject is SNDK, Professor, not me." I believe, if you look at the time stamps on our SI posts, that you started characterizing me as a "professor... of bull squat." I contend that the subject is not me, either.
I came into this thread joining a discussion of the relative merits/demerits of the Iomega n.hand vs flash memory for small devices (cameras, PDA's, etc.). In this arena, SNDK and IOM are competitors. I never generalized to the whole area of permanent storage, nor do I think that either of these devices are the right tool for the job.
"you have not shown, on a product by product basis, how IOM solves the same problem by adding greater value, at a better cost. You have spent much attention analyzing the details of two different species." Okay, tell me where my analysis is wrong. I was addressing a specific situation, and I don't see where my analysis is wrong. If you are going to accuse me of it, give me the facts, as you see them. Put your data where your mouth is.
As for your speed argument, again and again I have asked YOU: Where is this blazing speed of flash memory? SanDisk's products (including the embedded ones) have speed specs comparable to those of a hard disk. Not nanoseconds, like DRAM. WWW.SanDisk.com is where I'm getting my information from.
I make a little quip about professors being good at asking tough questions and poor at lecturing (which we all know is true), and I get jumped all over. What's your problem?
There's a vast difference between being civil and being a "dweeb." At least in my experience, anyway. Mary & Bill's a very good school, no argument here.
Oh, I'll make it simple for you. I get my e-mail through my university. If you really want to, look me up on the web from there. I understand the theory and practice of science quite well, thank you.
