Funny you should mention that. I believe it is a useful tool as well, and
without third party input, you decrase the tool's value. For instance, the
responses from Acorn people has been intriguing to me. I thought those
machines had died and gone to heaven. I never hear about them any more,
much less any comparison to the big 3. See that? Increased information and
learning. Isn't that what this is really all about?

It is for me.
