Perhaps.
There's at least one magazine here (and it's not the smallest one)
that regularly publishes rather well-reviewed articles on several `hot
iron' topics. They've torn the EIDE tales apart, they have shed light

has been ``Basically crap. If you need something that's actually
working, go with SCSI.'')
