To my mind the real problem is far to much computer control of things simple

That's true, but as you say it's an annoyance that I'd rather avoid.

Current business practice, and governmental interference, actively punishes

This is why hospitals have had such an issue, they have no stockpiles. That one

What say you of such intellect?
On Fri,
I haven't kept up on the prices of this stuff to know if this is in line
with the market but any time you see a crazy good deal on flash
card/thumb drives be wary, this stuff is a prime target for
