        I know I remember reading the max length of a usb cable somewhere, sometime, long ago and far away

        the question about ata vs ide was a crock tho
        probably taken from some old out of date technical standard that nobody uses

          16/25 on the standard. 64% see how you do on the 60 when ya'll got time. there are some douzies.

          i had no idea for example about max USB devices at one time....

                  they need to update some of their info. the answer here is AVI, but VC-9 is now called VC-1:

                    going further, ppl posting their results should post it with their times, so that everyone is sure that its not a result of googling for answer

                          Yeah maybe that will help me. Some of those questions are tricky, way too much guessing by me on a few of those "outdated" questions.
