I thought the "download" part was funny too. 1g is as fast as many people's laptop hard drives anyway, so local storage is pretty much pointless.

  Local storage still matters since bandwidth is not the only thing people care about: http://rescomp.stanford.edu/~cheshire/rants/Latency.html http://rescomp.stanford.edu/~cheshire/rants/Latency.html

    Yeah, I know, I was sort of joking. The hard drive certainly quickly becomes an OS-managed cache though like ram is for hard drives now though.

    Don't have time to find the source, but latency is comrable as well.
