I'm sorry, I don't even know what that means... The code I
have inherited from someone only a little more knowledgeable
than me, and is still full of development artifacts anyway.

The Pwr and Psp classes inherit from the Device class not
neccessarily because that is a Good Thing, more because
the development process led to them being thought of that
way. All devices have a mixture of common and differing
attributes.

What is 'typing'?
