I'm impressed by both vinum and softupdates.  If I didn't need to run
cables from my computer-room through the kitchen and to the garage, I'd
be tempted to hang on to my friend's machine (he intends to sell it).

Oh well.  At some point I may create my own poor-man's desktop RAID
cluster with several PCI-IDE controllers and a cheap IDE master per
interface (no slaves).  Not quite as good as SCSI but a heck of a lot
cheaper.
