All external switches connect to internal components, but that doesn't mean that switch is an internal switch.

I can see we are heading to the quibble wars. Count me out.

nospam
you're the one that began it.

PeterN
Not at all true, ant you know it.

nospam
wrong. eric began the argument that a switch on the outside of a device is really an internal switch because the actual switch mechanism is internal and merely coupled to the outside world with a mechanical protrusion. it's absurd.

PeterN
This all started when you sat iPhones have no moving parts. I pointed out that they do,

nospam
none that affect data, and you know it.

you are arguing just to argue.

PeterN
and rather than simply clarifying what you later claimed you meant,

nospam
what i said was perfectly clear to anyone who has any clue at all.

here it is again, spelled out for the mentally challenged (i.e., you): hard drives have moving parts which can fail. flash/ssd do not have moving parts and are more reliable because there's no moving parts to fail. it's *very* simple and straightforward. only a moron would have trouble with it.

nobody but you gives a flying fuck about the volume button or home button or any other button, since none of those have anything to do with the data stored on a hard drive or flash/ssd.

PeterN
you took of on another of your asinine rants.

nospam
nope. you're just being your usual asshole argumentative self.

PeterN
EOD
