Hi Rich Emberson!

My impression after reading about them is that they would be a good
place to hold applications regularly accessed (read).  Data should
pull from them with marvelous speed.

They are slow to write and have limited write capability.

They are also sensitive to power interruption so make sure the system
has a good UPS.

Have a lot of fun!
