**We have an intern in the IT department, fresh from college. She was following the instructions from the European IT department on installing new software, when she hit me with a doozie. “Where is the return key?” We have all heard the “any key” joke, so I won’t repeat it here. This got me to thinking. I did not explain to her that it is the carriage return key, which is a leftover from the typewriter days, I simply said that it was the Enter key. (I would probably get a blank stare at the mention of a typewriter). This is the problem I have with abstraction. Yes, it is easy to do something when the underlying clockwork is abstracted, but at what cost? Monkey see, monkey do? Are we all going to be turned into button pushers, to get our treat? Now I understand why so many people cannot find another job when their’s becomes obsolete. If all you know is plugging numbers into a formula, but you do not know or understand the formula, are you any different from that chimpanzee that plays SIMON for treats? This is what the modern economy wants from you. Your computer is old / slow? Throw it out and get a shiny new one. Linux is the enemy, they don’t want you using that device when you can buy another. Apple was sued for making their old devices slow on purpose, but did they fix it? No. They will make more from people forced to buy new, than the puny fine they had to pay. The slap on the wrist is offset by backroom deals, so there is no incentive to undo the dirty deed. Linux may run on a dead badger, but Apple will try their darndest with hardware to stop you...** | **We have an intern in the IT department, fresh from college.

A: I have bad news for you. A SSD will only increase your boot speed. I looked up the laptop and the bottleneck is the CPU. You can try maxing out that thing’s memory and disable the swap file, as entry level laptops usually cannot take much memory and a swap file will kill a SSD slowly. As for your question, if you do not want a caddy, you can get a second drive bay that sits in the CDROM’s place. You can also clone your drive to a big USB thumb drive or even clone it over the network.** | A: I have bad news for you. A SSD will only increase your boot speed.

A: Yes, and a SSD will. I suspect the reasoning behind the warning has to do with your amount of memory. When you have little memory, Ubuntu swaps in and out of a file or partition. However, since this file or partition has to be stationary, it cannot be moved about on the SDD to mitigate wear and tear. It is like chafing an area on a carpet, for instance. If you chafe randomly, the wear is even, but you can burn through one spot very quickly. Generally SSDs have a longer lifespan than a hard drive, but they are very weak if you chafe one spot continuously. ** | A: Yes, and a SSD will.
