Now, I do know that when you buy a hard disk, you look for a low seek
and access time, but in reality, what is the difference between a 
drive with 65ns access time and 35ns access time?  Would this make
a visible difference in normal operation?  How can I tell what are
reasonable speeds for the various specifications given in the magazines?
