One key element missed here is that while the PM3 is new hardware, the
_software_ ie.. (ComOS, loyal constituants help me here), has been shipping
for over 5 years and is recognized (almost unanimously ;-) as extemely
stable (there is almost a somewhat regular battle about who has the longest
Portmaster system uptime)! ComOS was designed from the ground up to do the
job that ISP's enable Portmasters to do. This is not "new" technology as
far as the software is concerned.
My 2 cents.
