Yah, I'm happy to enourage his efforts but if he ends up with
what amounts to just another obscure, custom design I sure
don't want to pay boutique prices for it.  Chicken and egg?

The dream, of course, is to somehow end up with open "standards"
for laptop/fondleslab/tablet paraphenalia (power supplies, cases,
connectors, peripherals, etc) as we have for desktop boxes...
