Ever bought a new gadget, opened it up and discovered all sorts of unused
pads and traces on the PC board, and unpunched but clearly marked holes on
the back panel? It hasn't happened to me personally, but I've been hearing
about the "next year's model" racket for years.

Never thought I'd see a movie that made IBM look like the good guys (i.e.,
suckers). BTW, they could have drug this out into a miniseries. Meanwhile,
Jobs is back at Apple (doing quite nicely) and Gates is on most people's
Ten Most Hated list. I guess Steve is just more of an artist. God knows
he's gotten plenty off of me. 8-)
