I am currently being threatened by my former employer (they are "compelled [to] take action against [me]") for the way I am running ANN, and how this allegedly violates my employment contract with them ("interfere _in any manner_ with any business relationship between the Company and any of its customers or business partners"). This might entail drastic changes to the relative freedom of speech ANN has always allowed its visitors, or ANN might close down altogether. Updated 10:00 CET.

Legal threats? : Comment 965 of 1057 | ANN.lu |
Posted by JKD on 09-Apr-2004 16:13 GMT | In reply to Comment 959 (Ronald): Why is this even relevant when a suitable SCSI add-on PCI card can be had in the $30-$40 range these days? SCSI seems largely obsolete (at least irrelevant) on the desktop with the advent of UDMA for HDD, USB for hi and low speed devices and of course there's always 1394 (Firewire) right?
Of course, if you are a peformance freeak - 10k and 15k drives are starting to appear in SATA (previously the domain of SCSI)...presumably only a matter of time before there are ATA versions. (If there aren't already.)
There are only two players in the PPC market - well I exclude embedded systems stuff. IBM and Apple - and even they go after different segments.
Apple is clearly the comparison - they spend $10s of millions on R&D and still their time to market doesn't compete. Do you really expect an upstart (start up ;-) )to acheive better?
All my machines are now 1GHz (Whether G4 or P3)...it's more than enough for most home applications.
