	And company reputation, of which MAST has a terrible one.
Do the words INFINITY MACHINE mean anything to you? They also
advertised this flicker-fixer device for way too long. None of
which ever shipped.
	MAST from what I can tell doesn't actually make any
products themselves but finds other outside people who already
have products and then buy the rights.

	It may very well be a great device. Since it is MAST
making it, I would like to have that proven to me. From people I
know who went to AmiExpo (I've gotten three reports) nothing was
running on the ColorBurst stuff but color cycling circles and
squares. Absolutely nothing eye-catching, not even a good still
image.
