Another thing that is annoying about PCs is that the products are usually
build to be used in isolated, vanilla machines.  For examples, we have
a fancy full motion video card.  It works fine.  Then there is the voice
recognition card.  Works great.  Put the two of them in the same
machine (486, 16MB memory, 1.2GB SCSI disks) with windows and guess what?
It is too often the case that when you start combining products from
different vendors, it doesn't work...
