[dundee] ELF yourself encryption

[Lee Hughes]

Andrew, yeah, I agree top posting in the pain in the ass

but doesn't that just lead on to the wider argument , that communicating
on a mailing list, is well not initutive, and a bit hard for new users to get
to grip with...

well , you can't beat barriers to entry can you? keeps the mortals out ,
and the elite tech gods chatting between themselves..

I'm off to get a sun tan.

Please don't top post.


Well, when dealing with more than a few disks your going to need some
sort of extra IO controllers. We're not talking bedroom set up's here.

Ok, well I'll leave you to figure out how to attach 48 disks to your
PC and get decent performance.
