Yes ideed.  I find myself thinking it is a fairy tale!  
Along this line:  how does one install an accelerator or get an accelerator
installed?
And what kind of performace do you really get?  Does it really make the Plus
act like a monster machine?  Without frying the innards?
I find myself thinking along the lines of the abovementioned Dad.

I guess I am extra skeptical because this kind of set up is the answer to
all of my prayers.  Power and economy--to the extreme.
