(I was gonna write one of those "Bzzzt.  Thank you for playing anyway." posts
but I guess I'm just too nice. :) )

Uh, exactly where did you get this info?  I've seen the DEB priced consistently
less than the fF.  Also, the fF doesn't work correctly with overscan and some
of the new ECS display modes.

No offense, but you can't say someone is wrong (which I admit I sometimes am
-- I'm human) and not back it up.  Please _do_ back it up if it's true.  I'd
be glad to know that the fF had been reduced to the price of the DEB and that
it had been updated to support the new ECS modes and overscan.

Believe me.  I don't take marketroid trash as anything other than a derivative
of what once _was_ the facts... ;)
