	Funny you should mention name recognition.  I just got 
	back from the hospital (had to get an MRI done on my knee--
	"Does this hurt?" "OwOwOwOwOw!!!" "Well, there's nothing
	on the X-rays.. Take these pills and go get an MRI done")
	and while I was waiting (phew, I still have wiffs of 
	Odor de hospital) I was browsing through the regular
	cheesy magazines that doctors have (you know, Time, people, 
	all about 5 months out of date...) and I came across
	a 5 page (really, 10, if you count both sides) insert
	(nice, glossy paper) from HP!

	True, most of it was about their new PC prices 
	(not bad--cheap 486's are here to stay) and the new
	LJ4 (*excellent*--buy one *right now*) but there was
	a 1/2 a page on the PA.  It was really toned down
	(none of this, "super fast new.." stuff) but it was
	there.

	Wish I knew what mag it was..

	I like the stations, it's too bad they're only slightly (memory)
	more expandable than the 128k mac a friend of mine has sitting in
	his closet.
