quick poll The FCC is dropping Morse-code testing for the Amateur Radio Service, terming the tests an "unnecessary regulatory burden." What's your take on this historic rules change?
- It's abominable: anarchy will ensue on the Amateur radio bands
- It's lamentable: part of ham radio's history is being lost
- It's foolish: CW is still a viable transmission mode
- It's irrelevant: those who pound brass will still do so
- It's praiseworthy: it'll draw new, younger Amateurs
embedded in electronic design online Time For PC Modularity? Is it time for more modular PCs? The trend towards standard, hot swap interfaces like Serial ATA, PCI Express and USB could change the way PCs are built and marketed.

book review iWoz If you're looking for deep insights into system architectures, software schemes, or other nitty-gritty technical details, iWoz may disappoint; but Steve Wozniak's story of his journey from electronics-entranced son of an aerospace engineer to co-founder of Apple Computers is still an entertaining read.
