Or alternatively: sum up all devices and have a colorcoded bullet that
indicates the chance of it working. Something like:

	Green: Been there, done that
	Yellow: Should Work (tm)
	Orange: probably not
	Red: when hell freezes over

Anyway: just more thoughts. I think adding some contents is the way
to go. What exactly, I leave to Jim :-)
