Well put Jeff!
While I am here, for the benefit of other readers, I'm not really
a reactionary grouch, I'm a very progressive grouch! Charles apparently
has not looked at the MSK code to discover what integration really means,
and even then systems problems pass him by completely (one afternoon stuff).
MSK was not designed to be taken apart like some hapless corporation on
the chop block. It was tightly integrated to perform well in minimal space
and least cpu resources. The consequences of that require study to savor,
the same as they required study to create. Those with an interest in systems
work may wish to dig/wade in for personal curiosity.
