You know, sometimes things are not as bad as they seem.

Last time I was in one LHS I asked them how often they had to replace the Interlink controller on their G3.5 demo setup. They said in the last year, once when someone ripped the cable out of the top of it. And that sucker sees some heavy use. And heavy handed dolts. How could anyone tear that cable out.... and how would it come about. Amazing.........
