That'd be interesting.  You know what I'd like to see?  A matrix that not
only has people's experiences, but also some info about *them*.  You see,
in a past life as an electronics service manager, I learned that some
people have bad equipment karma, while for some (like me -- not an asset
in that job) no piece of equipment will fail.  

Every time I read about a bad experience, I can't help but think "What
happens if you try the same mobo/memory/disk with a different user?"
