True, and this is very cool. But you can't *saturate* it. ;)

This is a good thing; I hadn't thought about this. With all the
colleges getting Microsoft kickbacks (oh, sorry..."donations") these
kids are getting Windows crap rammed into every exposed orifice. It's
good to show them what real computers can do. What I find most
amusing is explaining what the output of the "uptime" command means.
They're amazed that a computer can run for more than a few days
without crashing, because Windows is all they've been exposed to.
Ahh, I feel better now, with my daily Microsoft rant out of the way.
