   I've done nothing of the sort. That's several times now you've made false   
   accusations towards me, Alan.   
   It takes one NAND to fail and you are out of business. You should review the   
   video links I've provided several times if nothing else before you make any   
   further accusations like that towards me. Anyone who has will be able to   
   determine that you're fucking around at this point. I'm willing to give you   
   the benefit of the doubt against my better judgement for a bit longer but if   
   you're going to continue being snit like as you did here, I won't continue   
   wasting my time attempting to educate you. I've already spent more time than   
   should be required for a reasonable individual as it is.

   I'm glad that if nothing else, you've learned what changed with Apple over   
   five years ago concerning booting from external media. So you won't be half   
   ass suggesting 'just use an external drive if your internal one fails'   
   anymore.   
      
   It's not a great deal of progress, but, I'll accept it.
