Amen!  I hungrily look forward to "real" information about new and existing
Amiga products.  I think Perry has exercised reasonable constraint in posting
"just the facts".  I also enjoy reading users' comments about their first-hand
experiences with vendor's products.  As we all know, commercial advertising
tends to be grossly inadequate, often being placed too far in advance to
compensate for long magazine issue lead times, the end result often being the
"vaporware" syndrome.  Advertising also tends not to tell "the whole story".
I feel that I can usually piece that together from what's tossed about the
net.   Obviously, if a vendor representative were to run "weekly specials"
on his product line, via the net, that could be construed as crass
commercialism, but responding to netter's questions or even VOLUNTEERING
information should not be frowned upon.  I wish more vendors would participate
and give us the product details we're looking for.
