$Paul, I AM surprised. [...] You also say "the information you quoted

$material. If you go back and look at my messages about DevCon '89, you'll
$see that there is nothing there that is not "general knowledge".
Here's my point: while the information you gave is generally well known,
I was surprised that you mentioned that this was the word you got from DevCon,
because any announcements, comments, etc. from DevCon were between Commodore
and our developers, whether or not it's public knowledge. It's nit-picking
Marco -- if you'd said "Commodore has already publicly stated that it will
be coming out with an autoboot card for the A2090" I guess I wouldn't have
noticed. Since you said [paraphrased...] "this was the official word I got
from DevCon," I noticed it.
$How about a cool, quick apology? Thank you.
I don't know what a "cool, quick" apology is, but I apologize if it bothered
you. However, please understand my point above. I think this is wasting
net bandwidth Marco. If you want to continue this, let's do it via email.
Thanks.
Paul.
