Yep, and we will still be installing it as long as it remains a better solution for an MUA, along with:

- Zippo's which will light in a windstorm, 'deprecated' by Bic lighters that will not,

- Case 'old Forge' carbon-steel knives, which will hold a sharp edge, 'deprecated' by stainless steel that will not,

- Easily cleaned last-forever black-iron skillets 'deprecated' by shortlived teflon on aluminum

- Colt .45 ACP's 'deprecated' by a 9mm parabellum with half the muzzle-energy

- American 'compact' cars 'deprecated' by monster SUV's

- and now the PowerBook G4 at 64 watts but normally run at <10% load 'deprecated' by the Intel Core Duo at 85 Watts to be run at < 6% load.... ??

Anyone else out there notice how folks should leave home and rule the world while they are still young enough to know everything?
