-- Quayleism from Hawkins (http://discussion.visorcentral.com/vcforum/showthread.php?threadid=7702)

Hawkins said something thay sounds a lot like our former Vice President. From the recent chat:

"Jeff Hawkins: Most Springboard modules are hardware modules and any of them that contain radios or other communications hardware take a long time to build. "

I guess I miss the joke. Software modules would be the eBooks that are out by Franklin and PeanutPress, the Tiger Woods game and IntelliGolf.

My point was simply that eBooks and the golf modules have chips (hardware) in them to hold the software. Even the module itself is something you can hold in your hand (hardware), not something you could zip up and put on a floppy (software).

But even a floppy has magnetic tape inside of it. And with the demise of the 5.25" disks, why do we still call them floppies?

We are seeing short supplies of many components. But we have faired better than most. One reason is, we don't use flash memory, which is the most affected components. Another reason is we maintain very close relationships with our vendors and have forecasted our needs accurately.
