opensecrets.org is a great resource to find out who is paying our elected representatives to vote. A quick visit there shows that Hatch's 4th largest campaign contributor (by industry segment) in 2002 was TV/Movies/Music, 9th largest was Computer Equipment and Services.
I truly wish that more of us would vote. Then they'd have to pay attention to us. Until then, the votes will be bought. Can you imagine how important polls would be if the percentage of voters was, say, 80%?
A one time competitor of X-MPs and Y-MPs was the ETA-10 () from ETA Systems. It's boards were immersed in liquid nitrogen. The old John Von Neumann Supercomputing Center at Princeton used to run one.

It's obvious that you've never had to deal with them. They are at best, slow!
