	Man, you sure have your share of twits, don't you?  Re. the
ROMs, please clarify something:  What are the changes in the ROMs,
other than the Blitter support?  If I do not want the blitter at this
time, will it buy me anything to get the ROMs alone?  Even if the 
ROMs just fix some of the more ridiculous bugs, I'd want them.  If
they do not fix anything, and just add blitter support, I 
won't want them unless I get the blitter also.  Finally, if I get the
ROMs now, can I get the blitter by itself later?  

	I think people would be outraged if you did not offer 
the ROMs seperately also, but how do the various deals work out?
