Dear GUEST,

You sound like Amos, extolling the virtues of obscure books and Apple computers. However, Amos would never read "Love In The Time Of Cholera" -- no, he'd read El amor en los tiempos del cólera. And he wouldn't go on about parametric batteries, but simply state that the flatula overheated, causing a cascade effect in the RM5 array of the P/N junctions that in turn busted it.
