It's a deadly looking tool, isn't it? While I was at NeXT Camp
learing how to repair NeXT Cubes, David Kottle, our instructor,
called this device the `Dentist's Tool from Hell.' Just holding
it kinda makes you feel mean.

Oh God. You have got to be kidding. If it's really true (which I expect
it is since Andrew's message lacks :-)'s) I can't imagine how people
(ie, the press, Mac users, IBM users, etc.) are going to rip into this
one. Might as well sit back, grab a 6-pack and some pretzels, and get
ready to enjoy the show.
