 Obvious innit?  If you are unable to adjust the tuning, strip the carb
 and so on on your car, then you must be a really crap driver.

 Actually, I like using the car analogy.  The parallels between the early 
 days of personal transportation and personal computing are quite strong.
 I'll leave them to you.
Dom \ Get-A-Life 95 has been released to less than universal acclaim. 
as   \ Full functionality can only be achieved through a doubling of salary,
Dom   \ and in any case the full version, including the band and girlfriend 
not    \ modules, will only be available next year.  The recommended upgrade
i-cubed \ is from Messed-Up-Dammit and Whinger 3.11 to Same-Old-Shite/2.
