	Why complicate the system both visually and as a matter of 
programming simplicity for something as dubious as a visual representation for 
hardware recognition? I thought the whole idea of the Mac environment was 
to hide the hardware level, and make everything as simple as possible.
	Come to think of it, Apple should have standardized a CDEV and
an INIT icon for the mac as well.
