Petz, The fanatics will be busy speeding things up over the holidays.Telling them that operating their system in liquid nitrogen and will speed it up to 450 megs will do wonders for liquid N sales I suspected that they were speed limited, and topped out a certain bit over their rated speed, say 5-10% for sales to a range of places.

I wonder how they explain the assorted ways they have fried their chips when they try to get free ones under warranty. I suppose they go to full innocent begging supplicant mode. The question is, can they tell if a chip has been fried by push on the envelope?, possibly by detailed chip examination to find breakdowns, flashovers, melted spots, alligator clip marks?

have a good holiday, Petz and all.
