 destroy too strong.  blurring maybe :)  if a
merged-product-engineering-kit that's EOMA68 compliant ends up being
sold in 50million+ units i think.. i think... a) i will fall off my
chair backwards b) the goals of EOMA68 could be said to have been well
and truly met.

 bottom line please remember the EOMA68 standard is designed for
absolutely ginormous volumes, for some very specific reasons which i
won't go in to (as they're future-speculative), but if you work out
how many 5mm x 85mm x 54mm cards can fit into a 50ft sea-going
shipping container it gives some perspective.
