But I already threw that out

OK, as I was having a conversation with my wife the other day about zip drives and how they used to be cool with over 100MB of storage, which was good for photoshop and illustrator files, but today it just too expensive when compared with cd-rw or dvd-rw. So Iomega has relased a 750MB version of their zip drive. But the cartridges are $15, and the drive is $189, compared with a Pioneer DVD-RW for $245 and the media under a buck for 4.7GB :)

I guess there maybe 3rd world countries that may need it? dunno.

Then I found this nugget in another KB article, " Ensure the NFS server supports NFSv3 over TCP. ESX/ESXi does not use UDP for NFS. "  ( http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1005948 ) Which l
