I wondered why you referred to a PSU -- I thought maybe it was a (King's / 
Queen's) "Englishcism" or something along those lines.  Now I understand.  
(Oh, and don't feel dumb, or so it with tongue in cheek, the older I get, the 
dumber I am ;-)

(I guess there's a trajectory in a parabola shaped curve for "dumbness"-- when 
you're young, you're dumb from lack of knowledge, but smart in terms of having 
a good memory for what you learn.  When you get older, you have plenty of 
knowledge, but are dumb due to forgetting it. ;-)
