I just dropped my first ssd in and have been using it for 2 days now. It really is a world of difference, quick video - macbook boots in under 20 seconds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj5pE_kUnps

Also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odSSI_9KAkI A good side by side comparison with a standard hdd.

So if you haven't made the jump what is holding you back?

Dropbox will not work in osx Lion. It looks like they are doing OS version checking and have disallowed 10.7 Here is a screenshot: http://grab.by/98Ph

There is a forum post about this over on dropbox, if you are currently or will be soon running Lion please jump over there and let them know its important!

I got really tired of it taking forever to load HN when I was on EDGE so I took things into my own hands :-) Its just a simple proxy using google app engine, but it does gzip the pages. On a sample page with 103 comments the size went from 140.0K to 29.8K. All other features are functioning (submit new, upvoting, commenting).

The source is on github so feel free to deploy your own: https://github.com/matthusby/HN-Proxy
