Well <grin> I think it depends on the table in question ...

But seriously, if your house is on fire do you mind if someone  pounds
on your door to let you know?    If your house is on fire will your
neighbors complain that you pounded on their door to ask them to call
for help?

Maybe this is just a momentary disatisfaction from a long time HP
faithful but it is getting to the point that other platforms - and
other computer companies - are starting to look like better places to
hang my hat.
