No bullshit, bat brain.  Unfortunately, I didn't have $1000. Or was that so
difficult to figure out?

take it to email.

Hardware support, noodlehead, hardware support. Most specificially I was
referring to the announcement of non-interlace chips for the 500 amd 2000,
but not the 1000.  Even with a 2000-in-1, how am I going to use these chip
upgrades?
