Yes, it's me again already. I just finished getting through this
weekend's postings -*sigh*- and have a couple more suggestions of
what should be in an FAQ:

>Things to include: (IMO)

4) A short bit on VCR copy protection, and a reference to the R-E article
    on defeating one common protection method. (what issue was that, again?)

5) (maybe) Same thing with CD's

6) (maybe) A list of phone numbers for the big silicon houses.
    (definitely) A list of the various BBS's run by them.

7) Suggestions for appropriate newsgroups.. wait! I did that one already!
    (Fix your Nintendo? I've never even seen one, nor do I want to! *GRRRR*)
