All i was saying was dependency is an issue.

Linus: I believe if you can not make something, at least once, you should not use it at all. -> One might become enslaved by the necessity of the item. It is better off avoiding all together. -> ex Ghandi and salt. These advanced techs and expensive cards seem beyond the hobists frame of mind. In the old days we solder components on bread boards. I fear for the future generations which might become dependant on a 'less than' sufficient technology to fight a war. Get back to me on this. Dale T
