Jason, I guess I just chalked it up to what a bunch of engineers considers to be "usable." No offense to you engineer types out there in the audience, but anyone who shows up to work with socks that are different colors (hey, I've done it too) may not find problems like this to be obvious.
I would happily swap an EEPROM myself if it fixed even some of these issues -- even if it did not add functionally to the unit in any way.
