	Not terribly long ago, I posted a question asking exactly HOW the
much of an impact not having a hard drive has on the system (specifically
for a single user who is doing work, rather than across a net or somesuch)
and got no response.
	So, once again, how much of a difference does it really make?  And
in what ways?  Anyone?

Thanks
