Depends on what you call "boot time".
At work, I can get the login prompt in 25 sec or so. But access to the
email will take at least 3 minutes (including 2 minutes of "no-click").
And it's a classical hdd on XP.

Old? - Never. You're younger than me.
Fool? - Hardly. You know your limitations and you don't boast of your
strengths.
Cynical? - How about a slightly pessimistic and realistic view of human
behaviour?

BTW If these people are sincere in their belief that they have a
radically new system, where's the patent? ... or if they wish to go the
FOSS route, where's the algorithm?
