I happen to thing that portable enhancements have been getting a bum rap by a vocal minority (actually, on the basis of his amount of posting, on his own paul would seem to constitute a vocal majority:-), but had been quiet about it. However, i think the kind of thing you're spouting now is unnecessary, gratuitous, and in fact injurious to some people's livelihoods, and that's not fair. I should say that i have *no* connection with the company, other than being a satisfied customer. I got a 2.1 gig drive from them (which i reported on the list, at the time) for a decent price and with very decent results. I felt well informed by them - in particular, i found them to be quite candid about the impact of getting a CPU upgrade when i enquired of it in person. (They cautioned that i might not see a big performance increase in the 701, for the reasons that have been bandied about on the list, and i did not do so.) I feel that their postings are in general *not* out of bounds, and would have no hesitation about recommending them. Regardless, i consider the remarks to be excessively snide and uncalled for, and don't like to see that on the list. Please stop (and maybe consider slowing down your posting rate, so you have to do fewer posts and reposts to get some information out)! Ken Manheimer klm@cnri.reston.va.us
