[rescue] Various machines for sale

   Yeah that was always BS.  People just wouldn't take the five minutes 
required to learn about what termination is and how to apply it.

   Doubly hilarious were the retards who loudly asserted that "IDE is 
superior because it doesn't need those annoying terminators".  Because 
the n00bs who designed the IDE interface didn't understand transmission 
line theory or impedance matching well enough to design it into the 
interface does not mean it is "superior".

   A horrible ten minutes of learning will teach all of that and 
suddenly the light dawns.  But nooooo, learning is evil.
