[TenTec] Orion - OT

[jerome schatten]

Yep... I can see your point Gary, but abandoning the principle of  
parsimony in the face of improbable events of little consequence seems  
unnecessarily restrictive.

Myriads of VOX stories with unintended consequences abound. But in the  
grand scheme of things, the smoke goes up the chimney just the same.

KISS by using VOX as Ed indicates, decreases the entropy caused by the  
added complexity of the interface -- this is overall, a good thing.

Best,
jerome - VA7VV
