It's faily bizzarre how they've split the discussion of one person's
installation into multiple threads. Not SOP.

I do like newsgroups, though. The ability to embed binary's would aid in
discussion sometimes -- and the bit about linewrapping URLs is frustrating.
But there are ways around both of those.

I've got an Ocelot and a SECU-16 sitting in their boxes for about 6 months
now. Haven't had time to install them yet.  But some of these installation
examples are making my mouth water.
