RS> Yes, but when its prices are very high, its gouging. Particularly

BG> Crap.  The external Couriers are almost three times the physical size of
BG> the Sportstsers, and contain considerably more (3x as much?) componentry.

RS> Crap, there is fuck all in it parts cost wise even with the externals.

BG> Are you completely mad?  I happen to have my external
BG> sitting in front of me, lid off, as I type, and it not

BG> entire board is tightly populated with a hell of a lot more
BG> componentry than the internals. There is no free space at all.

So now you are attempting to run the line that say the Courier internal
and external are radically different electronically, even tho they use
the SAME SDL ?  When the only real difference in functionality is the LEDs ?

Are you seriously trying to claim that USR has to triple the logic
on a quite fancy electronic design, the internal, just to support
LEDs and a power switch ?  I think they should take the person
responsible for that design out the back and shoot him, quick.

RS> You are out of your fucking tree if you think that the external has
RS> three times the circuitry that a Sportster has but the internals dont.

BG> The physical evidence is right in front of me, Rod.

Pity you dont put your brain into gear and think about it tho.
