Hello August -

I _think_ this was initiated by my 'rant' that I don't like USB
being used for everything/anything lately and my disappointment
that new modems being sold in my area are all using USB v2.0
connections. 

I added the comment that I didn't have USB v2.0, only v1.0 or
v1.1 in this machine. Everyone assumed I was referring to the
new modems. I wasn't. I was thinking of external hard drives,
burners, etc. but that doesn't really matter anymore. 

Someone (probably August) suggested I could buy a PCI card to
add USB v2.0 and another person mentioned something like "What
if there are no available PCI slots?". 

All of this was combined into the belief that now what I needed
was a way to add PCI cards and the rest is history. 

From wanting a serial port connected 56K modem, to USB, to PCI
cards, to risers, and all because I was complaining when I
should have just remained silent about the whole thing. ;-)
