Jeeesus!  I hear all this stuff about people getting their TC upgrades,
yet here I still sit, getting poorer with every phone call to that
piece of garbage company in Scotts Valley.  And still, no TC.  Last
week I called them and was told that I'd be called back; they seemed to
realize there was a problem in the fact that still I had no upgrade.

This week, after not getting a call, I called again.  For the sixth
time in as many weeks, I was told I'd get the upgrade in 2 weeks.  This
is god damned annoying.  The person on the phone even suggested that I
cancel the upgrade order and go to a store and pick one up.  Sure, only
$30 bucks more that I don't need....  Here I sit hoping to do some
serious program development in Turbo C, but I guess I'll have to use
MASM and Turbo Pascal.  Ugh.

So, does this supposed upgrade support the Hercules incolor card?
