[Air-l] social network migration

[Conor Schaefer]

To be fair, I think the concept of daisy-chaining was around long before 
Firewire. I remember it with SCSI interfaces, for example. And I further 
take issue with the notion that crowded, unkempt hard drives slow down a 
system. Depending on the filesystem used, it might not even fragment 
these days, and certainly a sluggish system is due more to too many 
system processes or too little RAM than to seek times on external hard 
drives...

That said, killer draft you posted the other day. I can't believe how 
many people have found it through BBC and struck up conversations with 
me about it.
