There's a guy standing over my shoulder, from 40 feet from my cube,
who walked over, and saw the "Page creation limited" when clicking on
"MPX" from the "PowerPC G4"  .

He came to me "frustrated" and feeling "postal" (bang!) and
complained to me.

Now, I'm not saying one way or the other on the issue. I just think
the wording could be a little less forbidding.
