I'm still old school...I want a motherboard that has half a dozen
*simultaneously usable* PCIe slots.

Yes, they *technically exist*...I can spend $1,000 on a Threadripper CPU and
another $1,000 on a motherboard to fit it.

But if there's enough throughput for all eight of those USB-C ports, there's
room to fit a useful number of PCIe slots that gracefully throttle down but
let the devices actually-work.

...or it's basically a USB 3.0 hub with a slightly different form factor but
doesn't *actually* have the ability to feed all of those ports simultaneously
in a way that's any better than the type-A solutions present on all of the
other motherboards on the shelf.

I definitely did.

My Newsreader had the message stuck in the outbox and on a retry loop...and I
didn't realize it was posting with each failed attempt. I left it running,
and I just sorted it out.

I can't believe how much spam I accidentally created.
