I like how that looks, just to throw in my 2 cents. I'd also like to
comment on the usefulness of the original hardware FAQ:

For me anyway, I see 2 primary uses for it:

a. To look up information on a specific item
b. To pick up all sorts of interesting facts and information (in general)

So I'd love to see an update of the FAQ, especially to get my eyes on
additional information not included in the current version (an example: In
Part V there is nothing under the floppy drive section).
