I'll admit to being one of Ed Lippert's biggest fans! He does make new product announcements and he quickly answers questions put to him about both his and other products. He is one of a handful of vendors who put out high quality products at reasonable prices, and he backs up those products. I've been waiting for a few months for TS to ship me a single micro-floppy, containing a program supposedly finished months ago. Their boards quickly developed a bad reputation herethe group buyers waited a long time and often got defective boards. Tecmar sold a very high priced low quality product (look at them now0 Microforge had a lot of problems (I just heard they've bit the dust) one company sells ram boards with out pass-thru's, another sells a clock for the parallel port that requires your printer to be turned on when you boot, and so on. In contrast, I've heard of very few problems with the equipment Ed sells (and ships), and he has cooperated with other vendors to help get us better products. I think that Ed has earned the attention he gets here! Ron Troy
