	I don't know about you, but if I had a hard drive with 65 nanosecond
access time, I'd be flying past everyone.  Where'd you get these drives?

	Mind you, it'd have to be very heavy, to prevent head inertia from
physically throwing the drive all over the place.  And the head positioner
would suck tons of current when active, no doubt......
