I'll just point out how naieve it is to believe that a newlywed can make a major purchase decision for a toy that will only benefit one partner, and do so through the auspice of having him spend time with it instead of her, and put him in a foul mood, swearing at the little box, while learning a new assembly language for a processor Intel is about to End-Of-Life... 8-) 8-) PS: Peter seems to have done the work anyway, so no matter how serious you were, the objection on behalf of the Alpha is not itself an objection any longer... PPS: Amazing, how much of the grunt work is shouldered by the married Australians arouns here...
