And speaking of chip changeouts...

Here's a funny that I read in one of the Information Technology BLOGs that I subscribe to:

OUT OF CONTEXT: GENTLEMEN, HACK YOUR ENGINES
"[The owner of a Porshe 944 Turbo with $7,000 in engine damage had]
bought a chip and other performance goodies online and installed
them [in the car] himself. For a week he had a big smile on his face
because he gained 40 horsepower. But then it all blew up. It happens
all the time."
-- Spencer ***, owner of Speedsport Tuning, as quoted by the New
York Times

$7000 = 40 HP??? Ouch!
