Though probably not the oldest piece of equipment owned by a /.'er, I have faithfully been using my logitech mx518 as my primary mouse (work and home) for the past 7 years, and it is still going strong. I see no reason to 'upgrade' a component when it is still a comfortable and functioning device. Or maybe it is just that I cannot afford new stuff?

I agree whole heartedly. In order for the 'masses' to truely benefit from a diverse yet quality experience, they do need to perform some sort of quality control. Think about your local book store, they pick and choose the material they stock to appeal to the widest audience, if that means not stocking (largely) freely available information, it is really just their business decision to make.

With no distortive effects it will look as big as the average Americans.

This seems to me that it is going to be another massively under-adopted operating system. You'd think they would have learned their lesson from Vista. Don't force unnecessary restrictions on usability.

Assuming Windows is installed on the small 60gb SSD, change the default drive for the my pics, downloads and videos folder etc (right click the folder icon and change its location) It is not that hard, and windows handles the copying of data. I tend to leave the documents folder on the SSD as it contains the %appdata% folder by default and most people don't have more that 5gb of documents. All that said, I don't expect your grandmother to be able to do it by herself, but once it's setup, it is completely transparent to the end user.

Now spamming you in badly written Korean.

Now exclusively available in the app store for 2.99

Throw a few billion micro SD cards at it. I'm sure they will have great uptime.
