	I never thought of it that way.  I always think of it this way:  When 
Byte magazine actually takes notice of something from C=, it's GOTTA be 
increadible - after all, they have ignored the toaster so far, Multitasking was 
a "toy", and Multimedia wasn't ever going to be important, according to Byte (
until other vendors touted these things).  Hence, it must be INCREADIBLE for 
them to take notice of it over other platforms :)

:P
