Netland:

We won't mention any names here, so as not to violate a repeated
request from the victim for not flaming the villains in the piece, but
I request all of you who are in a position to make buy/don't buy
decisions on graphics hardware software systems to keep right at the
forefront of your mind the recent example of bullying the little guy
into submission we have seen here, and do your very best not to deal
with, or let your companies get sucked into dealing with, the bad guys
in this disagreement.  You know their behavior here is completely
representative of their corporate mindset, and that entering any
business agreement with them will eventually be an unpleasant
experience, right?

Losing business is one (painful, but just) way of learning how to
behave in polite society.

Just for your information, the last crowd to gain the ire of you, me, and the
rest of the world-wide nets, Technisoft, has gone bankrupt, and owners of the
RAM-Board have received letters from the liquidators promising gobs of support
(Ha!).  I laughed and cried, since I'm now the proud owner of an orphan, but
the business practices which others and I detailed over the net could lead to
no other conclusion.  I'm glad you all listened and bought elsewhere.

Net power!  Let it be heard again!  They can't say they weren't warned!

Kent, the (highly irritable) man from xanth.
