 HM> You just know I can't resist this, don't you? :-)

 HM> USR are about the only manufacturer to actually implement Class 2.0. 

 HM> Class 2.0

 HM> class

 HM> 2 is the standard (official or defacto is irrelevant) which most of the

BUT WHO took it upon themselves to push class1 and class2 to

 "make them the standard" 

Some commercially minded idiot that was looking at his own profit line...

or another one of your beauracrats working for the opposition



It certainly was not the people that use the product (end users)

They have absolutely NO SAY.

Nor was it a group of experts that looked at the pro's & con's of each

class.



Some other commercially minded person with enough clout could just as well

pick up the class 2.0 ball tomorrow and run with it
