Bob Page just requested that Perry not post info about ASDG's upcoming
hard drive. I disagree; this just came up in a local seminar group, too,
and I quoted from the mod.announce.newusers group...the bottom line is
that while advertising is frowned upon, simple announcements of products
(or in this case answering direct questions about them) are ok, so long
as it is not repetitious.

At one extreme we have people who would prefer not to ever even hear that
there are commercial products and services in the world; at the other are
people who are very interested. The net has a real variety of people on
it, and you can't expect everybody to see things your way. All you can
ask for is moderation.

I know that some people have been griping about Perry's "advertising"
for some time, but since not everyone agrees that he has been inappropriate
in the past, I would not consider it a settled question by any means. Live
and let live.

Personally I am very interested in hearing about any and all new products
for the Amiga, and hard disks in particular, since I am in the market for
one and have heard a lot of very bad reports about every single product
currently on the market (for example, Byte by Byte is rumored to have
production problems that make their stuff practically unavailable). Just
for the record, I consider lack of DMA to be a very bad report.

So please let us know about the ASDG hard drive, and anything else that's
new, too.
