Which is a really good point, and of course, with polls on a forum such as this, is really not something that could easily be considered, without making everyone post to explain their vote, although we could run (yet another) poll on how many machines our members have...although I have no clue how many options that would require or how high the top limit would be, other than ‘too many to count’.
George Paul alone probably falls under the option above, although I doubt he is alone in this...
But yes, I probably should have included:
