there goes my worldview. ;) i had been thinking integrated solutions
were the way to go because they can be so much simpler but i had
forgotten about this possibility. thanks for the reminder.
come to think of it, it's not just a matter of the hardware companies
being able to charge big bucks for extra features. it can also take a
lot of work to add a little extra to a non-pluggable design.
