Sometimes a spoof gets remarkably close to the truth :o The following paragraph is in today's 'The register' "Rather than try to maintain those databases, the researchers instead chose to study the way NAND memory chips age. They found that, as a chip undergoes multiple program erase (PE) cycles (with information being written and then overwritten), small imperfections will be created in the transistors that will very slightly increase the time it takes a chip to perform erase operations." -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
