I keep seeing caps described as "computer grade" but a search for a definition comes up with zilch. What does this mean? As the vast majority of computers are owned by the masses, one could assume it means sleazy consumer quality. Or it could mean the kind of computer that prevents ICBM's from being accidentally launched. Which is it? JACK K9ACT The name has been around for much longer than PC's, so I assume that it means _mainframe_ computer grade -- today we'd say "server grade", I guess. At any rate, if it has no legal meaning then it could be a total lie and no one would be subject to any legal penalties (marketplace penalties are another matter). I have always taken it to mean _really_ _good_, but you'd have to go over the specs to see, then extend some trust to the manufacturer. -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com Posting from Google?
