Not on a witch hunt at all.  A hunt implies that the target is lost.  It
was not lost, nor was I looking for it.  Marc did not just post "has anyone
seen the A2410 board?"  It read more like Commodore has failed to deliver
a promise, and so on.  Typical Marc Barrett fashion.

Further more, I have _never_ posted on the net asking when 2.0 will be out
or when Commodore will release a 040 Amiga.  Both questions I consider 
inane.  I took the time and the money to become a registered developer so
that I might know what Commodore intends.  Perhaps Marc should spend a few
dollars?  It sure might cut his postings in half.  1/2 :-)

If there is new informaiton, and you keep up with what is going on, you
will know.  There is _no need_ to see the montly "is such and such out
yet from Commodore and if it is isn't then Commodore really sucks posting"
Talk about wast of bandwidth!

Actually I try to be more informative than a flame generator.  Perhaps you
need to read all the words?

Agreed, when it is worded as a question and not a judgement.
