   I don't remember your posting exactly, but I suspect that you don't really 
have much to apologize for.

   This is a forum for C64 and C128 users; most are fiercely loyal; many have 
intentionally turned away from the evolving computer marketplace; *all* are 
spoiled by the exceptional longevity of the 64 and the support it received 
over the years.

   The problem is that support for the 64 has been too good.  The 64 and its 
relatives are doing things today that they were never meant to do, and users 
have come to *expect* that.  It's awfully hard to conduct a discussion with a 
Commodore user on whether a certain project is really worth the effort.  To 
them, the result is *always* worth it... and they often don't stop to think 
of the effort that goes into these miracles.

   We've been through these stages with people who want ZMODEM, DesBBS, and 
other nifty things.  The 64 bridgeboard for the PC is just the latest project
idea and I regret as much as anyone that it will *probably* never be done - 
but not enough to spend the time & money to do it myself. <grin>
