There

Well, hard drives are certainly There, with my $60-$80 benchmark price spread now occasionally being occupied by 1 TB drives.  With an onboard cache larger than the total memory in some old Pac Bells.

I feel like CPUs got There on muscle at about the P4 2.8GHz, and the Core 2 line got us There on efficiency, heat, and elegance.

Laptops aren’t There.  Not a single component.

This, while a Gigabyte rather than my beloved Intel and ASUS, may be There.  Dual LAN, 16 GB memory support, dual firewire, modern CPU support.

Being There is so nice.  It kind of makes you want to sit back and let out a Vonnegutian “If this isn’t nice, what is?”
