Just one more reason why this whole business of phasing out twinax
support seems so stupid to me.

The HMC *is* quite cool. Of course, it should be free (i.E. included
in the base price of the system). It's not like the HMC wouldn't run a
$1000 System x3250/x3200 (the x3550 is nice, but overkill for a Small
Business).

It gets even worse with the POWER 520 1 core machines - they don't
support the Thin Console or Twinax (at all).

The bigger machines require a HMC for a twinax console (Which seems
kinda stupid).
