   But then
it's my bitter experience that good design and PC hardware
 do not go together... 
 Preach it, brother! 
 That goes back, alas, to the very first IBM PC. I've often though the
 PC
 schematic should be used as an example of how _not_ to design things...

I can't help but think about a comedy routine (I think it was George Carlin, but I
can't recall for sure) about God designing the platypus - while stoned.  Irreverent
but hilarious.  -- Ian
