Mapleshade ad copy can be way over the top. I remember a few years ago reading in their catalog about the superior properties of their maple platforms. The copy claimed that if you placed a PC on on their platform your success at gaming would be vastly increased because the platform would allow you to hear enemies sneaking up on you better than without it.
You know, for someone so thoroughly grounded in science as Pierre Sprey, it's amazing to read something like that as representing his products. The man is an established aircraft designer. He helped design the F-16. Does he really believe putting a PC on a piece of wood improves its ability to produce sound?
