   Well, they have "smart fridges" that will spy
   on everything you have in there and report it
   to you (and probably a bunch of other people,
   including the govt and all the health insurance
   companies) ...

   But yea ... simpler IS usually "better". The older
   -ix utilities tell you exactly what you almost
   always NEED to know without any BS or mile-long
   list of params. You can really shorten yer pgms
   too by running them and parsing the straightforward
   data they return. Why rewrite sysutils when you
   can just use them direct ?

   And how much beer is in the fridge ? OPEN it
   and LOOK .......
