The reason we should not bestow our "expert" (term used advisedly)
opinions on personal computers is that expert opinions were not
asked for.  Simply, we know too much.  We would not send our machine
in for repair for a software problem, for example.  A novice user
would and it is a useful piece of information for CU if some ripoff
company tries to make a novice user who does so pay for hardware
repair.  In other words, let experts evaluate the questionaires
(hopefully they will do so to weed out such as us) and let consumers
submit them....
