Deskstar Wars(part I):
Luke:    I need a new PC, Ben.  But I'm having trouble deciding whether
         to spend the extra for SCSI or just get IDE.
Obi-wan: Luke, clear your mind!  Don't be tempted by the dark side.
Luke:    But it's a lot cheaper!
Obi-wan: That's just what the Empire wants you to think!  Look to the future.
         How will you connect a scanner or CD-R?  Surely you can't tell me
         you're willing to use an ATAPI tape drive?
Luke:    Why not?  Lots of people use them.  How bad can they be?
Obi-wan: This is worse than I thought!  The Emperor is very powerful.
         You must go to Degobah at once.  Yoda will rekindle the fire
         of multi-tasking within you.  R2 - Keep him from buying
         anything until he's seen the light.

Parting shot:
Beware the March of IDEs!

Individually we're scuzzy, together we're scum!

Don't forget -  The early write eats up the WORM!

No sir, the terminator will not make your SCSI bus stop running.

Yes, I'm afraid that even single-ended SCSI busses need terminators at
both ends.

User#1: I just bought myself a new CDROM drive.
User#2: Is is SCSI?
User#1: Of course not, it's a really nice one!
