Hmmm. Well, IMNSHO, it's been plenty technical enough for this list. Yeah,
it ain't hard-core geek stuff, like "how do I write a device driver to use
my PSAUX port as a serial line, since I've switched to a USB mouse, and
could use the extra serial port?". But it's gotten past the "advocacy"
thing (clearly a Talk list topic) into "these are my technical
difficulties".
