This seems (to me) quite a remarkably quick judgement, considering that (as far as I have read or heard mentioned) Black Belt has only had _one_ direct message reposted here so far (I forwarded it days ago). Personally I'd prefer that all Amiga manufacturers were online on all nets... it keeps the misinformation being spread to a dull roar ;-). Note, for example, how much CBM gets flamed on nets and BBSs where they aren't available to defend themselves. People are quick to post rumors and slams when they know they can't get caught... In any case, I do have three more messages to post from them, and that'll be that... cross-posting is a real pain. If you have something to say to Black Belt, why don't you email to him as suggested in the messages? Note that I have no connection with BB at all, except for having had a nice hacker's chat with Ben Williams once last year by phone (sidenote of interest to SF fans... his dad was James Blish). However, those of us with businesses (perhaps you also) do get upset when we see casual (and often just plain wrong) information being posted around.... especially if there's no quick way to respond. I'm sure you understand. Sincerely - kevin darling PS: I'm behind you all the way: that "24-bit" means the internal video data size, not the palette chip output. It's a shame that people get confused over ads.
