Jeezy Peezy...  Some people will never be happy.  DC Software has attempted
to make you, the customer, happy.  They have offered to go out of their
way to provide you with a board that will do what you want, but are you
grateful?  No, you would rather whine.  It's no wonder there aren't more
people supporting the ST out there.  I would like to thank DC Software
for their offer to modify a board for a special user request.  I hope
that DC Software remains in the ST market, and I hope that more developers
for the ST will be as willing to satisfy a specialized customer request.
