No, you're describing how you went to great lengths to special-case your
box to allow a partial upgrade. You are indeed part of the group that
thinks they're going to die if they can't instantly upgrade the box
whenever they like.

When did disagreeing with the clueless majority automatically make someone
a troll?
From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]:
troll 1. v.,n. [From the Usenet group alt.folklore.urban] To utter a
posting on {Usenet} designed to attract predictable responses or
{flame}s; or, the post itself. Derives from the phrase "trolling for
{newbie}s" which in turn comes from mainstream "trolling", a style of
fishing in which one trails bait through a likely spot hoping for a
bite.
Sorry, my posts don't qualify. You may disagree with my position on any
number of topics, but don't *ever* insinuate I don't actually belive as I
say.
