My God, Jamie – you are *RIGHT*; I distinctly put that message into section 15 (fifteen); I guess I *STILL* can't work ATO….. … My apologies, I did not intend it to go out past section 15. -ds .

Duff – I don't understand…… only 10-15%? We were promised *MUCH* more by the folks at Intel, et al…….. … Are there no 386 compilers mature enough to provide the performance increases we were "promised"? Or have I just been reading the wrong magazines? -ds 😎 .

Lansing – what about the Nth B752? 752 x 560 resolution on the Multisync, and a higher DPI ratio than a B1024 on a 19"….. and we all KNOW that Dots Per Inch are the ticket – not screen size. …. All for a puny $500 more….. -don strimbu, Authorized…

YOU STILL DON'T HAVE A COMPAQ CVGB? (Compaq Video Graphics Board = Compaq VGA) … C'mon, Lew – buy Jamie a new CVGB! … The bowling pins are pretty phenominal…. (.005 sec) you say? WOW! …… I LOVE IT…… … Wanna come work with our engineers? We could use injection…

No, no, no! 9.5 fps on the Compaq VGB, remember? … Panasonic makes a nice time lapse VCR, just need a Genlocker and you're off! … I love 'Flix! You guys did good, J. My boss wants to know how you managed to get such a fast cure cycle on…
