Speaking just for myself: I always like to work in environments where the chance of hardware problems is minimal. I'm making mistakes enough myself, so I don't need unreliable hardware as a compli- cation. From what I've seen so far, I don't think the FADS board is the most reliable piece of hardware around. It may have been even worse, with improvements lately. I don't really know - and I don't care any more. I've been burned once, that's enough. I guess others feel similar.
