This is by far the *weirdest* post I've seen in a long, long time.

Let's pull up a chair, pop some popcorn, and witness the hillarity:

".1 times better?" 10% better? A whole 10%? Talk about setting a goal
for oneself! And how could someone possibly quantify "better" in
increments of 10%? Prices are 10% less? Service is 10% more friendly?
The website is 10% faster?

I would know a RAM card is getting power because it is inserted into a
slot. I've known this ever since I've seen Apple's own LED-less card,
or indeed, ANY Apple II card that lacks an LED, which is most of them.

Hmmm, Apple II peripherals that aren't compatible with a stock Apple
II. Sign me the hell up. I can't get enough of those.

Not enough power for these new miracle products, eh? What could these
peripherals be? An electrical arc welder that's Slot-3 compatible? A
Hi-Res jumper cable set? I'm guessing a punch card reader AND writer,
complete with mechanical card puncher.

And "...should do the job." SHOULD? You mean you don't know for sure
yet? Wowie zowie!

Oh, please do! I can't wait!
