Why do people always refer to Alpha pws 500au's as "miata" ?


	>Why?  Well, alphas are electrinically noisy, and physically cramped.
	>The 500au in particular was designed by some sort of sadist who wanted
	>things to look pretty and didn't give a damn how things worked on the
	>inside.  If I had a $1.00 for every drop of blood I ever lost by
	>skinning my knuckles inserting or removing drives or pci cards from
	>miatas, I'd be rich.
