yeah, it's a real pain with all those devices that only work when they
are plugged in. The coffee machine doesn't make any coffee without
ground coffee beans, the fridge doesn't keep things cool without
electricity, the WAN router won't work without an internet connection,
and now those damned X100P cards that won't call anywhere without a
phone line. What's next? Cars that won't run without fuel? This is
getting really annoying, isn't it?!
