I certainly did leave out that original original model, because of exactly what you said. It's just a turbo controller in every way except the turbo part. There's a pretty good reason they just ditched that model pretty quickly after the turbo pad came out. It's not even worthy of consideration for the purposes of my review, but as a historical footnote, sure, you can bring it up.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
