Sorry to get in on this late, but I'm just now starting
to catch up. =
I agree with Daniel. It makes thing sound complicated.
However, Donald makes a good point. The "three stage"
part sounds good, but "boot" makes it sound like we
are still working with old antiqated concepts.
Perhaps something like:
"three stage system launcher" that powers you into
advanced computing. :-)
Just a thought.
