She won't let you fly, but she might let you sing

The humble mother board. It's the work horse and the heart of your average computer. But it never gets any credit for all of the great things it does. Sure--the processor, cache, RAM, the graphics processor--even the data link protocol that keeps growing and changing.(Nobody uses 802.11b anymore, don't cha know?) Those guys earn all of the praise and recognition. But never forget, without that gosh darn motherboard, none of it would be worth a penny.
