The Microwave effect

Before I had a microwave reheating food involved pots and pans and the stove.  Now you can have popcorn in three minutes and reheat left-overs in 90 seconds.  Of course those 90 seconds seem to take for ever.

Today I had to cold start a windows laptop today to just check just one thing.  The CR-48 with a solid state data storage and a smaller operating system cold boots in ten seconds and wakes up from hibernating* in 1.2 seconds.  This just makes restarting a Windows computer seem all the more slow.

*The CR-48 goes to sleep when the cover is shut and wakes up 1.2 seconds later, it is like having a computer is alway on.

  1. Congrats, you made it much further than 4 posts. Also, the 1.2 second wake up is necessary when you're google and you're monitoring everything like any evil overlord would.
