RAID explained :-)
Saw this and thought it may come in handy for anyone trying to explain RAID and fault tolerance to their colleagues.

Any chance you'll give credit for where you found this? It has been available at http://www.ghen.be/raid.jpg for ages now. I always feel dirty when seeing someone say "I saw this..." and then fail to link back to or at least give credit to the site that they took the information from. Fair's fair.

Hi Hilton, The image reached me by email and I did try to find a site to credit to. After a few dead ends - try searching Google for water+cooler+raid - I gave up. I'm surprised that such a funny and popular image has so few links back to http://www.ghen.be/raid.jpg. Cheers John
