<Glad you had more on the ball and saw that.>

I had nothing on the ball, my friend. I just asked.

I had to have the machine by Wednesday next and decided to push that question. They were very accommodating, I must say.

I still prefer Macintosh. I don't see how I shall ever give up the ease of use.

and GUESS WHAT? GTW came out with a flat screen monitor Monday; I tried to price it...you know I wanted to buy one....They said they would call me back.

Yes, well, guess I will have to buy one from Hitachi as GTW must have figured they sold me the SOLO so let's bolt before he wises up.

I'll bet I would have spent 2 grand for the Screen and the card. Meanwhile the GTW sales rep walks away with 4 G's for the 9100XL.

How do these people make money? You think I shall call THEM back begging to drop another 2 grand? There's a potential short sale.

Ehh; I just hate sloppy marketing. Sorry for the intrusion. I'll just buy Hitachi and keep my mouth shut in the future.

PostScript. I made a killing shorting MOT after they hummed me on a couple of poorly designed Star-Tacs. Sometimes, justice prevails for the consumer.
