Ah ah ah...  Watch it there.  Pee-cees DO need constant reconfiguring and
fixing.  But that brings up a good question, are they computers then? ;)

"I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to
have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting
myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell
than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered
before me."
-- Sir Isaac Newton
