Honestly, I was hoping for a joke or a comic. Sigh.

  I was glad it was not. As much fun as a "lolcomputerz" would have been, I found a nice comparison of the speeds that things happen in my computer, all normalized to MB/s to be quite informative. It was helpful to see all of the proportions all at once. I particularly like the analogy that if getting something from memory is like a minute long trip down the hall to get a candy bar, getting from the disk takes more than a year. Nicely done.
