Somewhere in the backs of long unaccessed core, I seem to dredge up
the fact that 19" racks was a Western Onion standard. Lending credence
to that is the fact that Ma's is *not* 19", and we all know that Ma
never used competitor's standard, especially a successful one.

By the way, the standards quote is from Andy Tannenbaum, author of
Minex and doer of many other things...
