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?
