I specifically asked him if I could call on him for hardware
questions. He's obviously _not_ the person to answer, but he _could_ be
the person to find the person to answer. I'll confess here and now
that, so far, I'm too ignorant to ask an intelligent question about
these little beasties. I'm still trying to figure out how they fit a
whole computer into a single room;)

If someone can re-phrase "What the heck is IN the 548, anyway?" into a
set of sensible questions, I'd be happy to forward them on and see
what comes back.
