I believe they are called "books" and are full of information
Will we ever see the likes of these times again?

That should all change when hardware manufacturers decide on the replacement of the BIOS
that they've been arguing about for years.

If you've got a couple of hundred quid spare
for a solid state drive, they do.

What's that then?

It's the same technology as a USB flash drive
only designed to replace your hard drive. They're expensive currently and write times aren't all that much faster, but read times are.

Whack your OS on one of those and the changeable data on a standard, seperate drive and you'll see a big difference in boot-up times.
