Heh.  Man, you shoulda seen the shit that NEC used to do (eg, the

Sony (not to mention Gateway and Dell) clobbered their butts in the
luggable (now notebook) market precisely by being quite Blue in their
interfaces.  Now the LaVie is a bog-(sub)standard piece of equipment.

Yeah - and there was even a special Brand-W version for NEC that produced files incompatible with everyone else! For computers, NEC is at the very top of my "Do Not Buy!!!" list! Sony is second.
