That's alright...I think you came out with the better deal.  I
wouldn't trust MacProducts further than I could throw them.  When they
first introduced their '030 accelerator, I called them up to ask if it
was compatible with Connectix's Virtual.  They told me it wasn't, but
would be compatible with Apple's Virtual Memory.  Well, at that time,
developers hadn't even been seeded with 7.0 yet, so I told them this
and asked how they knew it would be.  They told me that it just would
be.
 
Yeah.  Right.
