Why does it seem like all the major board specs are being renumbered?
276 will be 601x, 275 will be 2114 or 2141 or something... 

Do the numbers actually mean anything? 
Is the goal to keep us on our toes?
...or to make us feel that we can never keep up with progress?
...or a deal with Kinko's to keep copy machines cranking nonstop?
...or a communist plot to distract us with a flood of new specs while
   the rest of the world catches up to our technology?

whats, uh, the deal?					Jack
