I remember figuring out the jumper settings on my I/O card by trial-and-error,
because the damn manual lied about what they did.  Many people who know about 
IO port addresses and such very much want PnP.  I look forward to the day when
you can just plug in a card, rather than fiddling with it for a half-hour or 
more.

BTW, I don't talk for anybody but me.
