News: IEEE Plans On New, Faster Ethernet

Wait a minute, I just upgraded my network from Megabit to Gigabit a few months ago, and now the IEEE is telling me that they are working on releasing 40 and 100 G/bit standards for ethernet?  Folks, that's fast. That's like transferring four full length MP3 files from one computer to another in just under a second's time. Though I would imagine we would start to interfere with consumer hard disk read/write speeds by this point. - Lo *News Editor*
