O.K. Gateway is still selling CREAF Banshee boards and not STB. I had sent off an e-mail to Jason to verify my conversation with Gateway. His response was that they were still selling CREAF boards and he made no mention of STB (i.e. prsesnt or future status). I sent an e-mail to Gateway explaining my confusion and they responded that CREAF is in fact their current supplier. I'm somewhat annoyed by this because I spoke to their add on board person and they told me STB. I guess I should have double checked my facts before I posted the news - go figure - you think their sales people would be able to answer a question like this correctly. Sorry for the mis-information - mea culpa. Joe C.

It's true that what's bad for CPU is probably bad for computer companies in general- but I have been to CompUSA stores & I think their customer service turns people off. It's just a bunch of arrogant teenagers who don't really know what they are doing trying to get through the day with as little work as possible. My point is that what's bad for CPU may be irrelevant because people will just be buying more computers directly from DELL, CPQ & AAPL - three companies whose computers all operate great with TDFX cards installed (yes, Apples also). I still think we need to work on a deal with Dell! By the way, does anybody know if TDFX has a 32-bit chip in the works, Glide32 codes & all? I mean they must- right? l mason
