RE: Graphics card for PC (was: Monitor Choice Poll)

["gary" <gsellani@accesscom.com>]

Nobody buys items that are obviously not meeting the product specifications
on the box. Other than usenet, how does one know the manufacturer is lying
like a rug? So don't dismiss these so called rumors, but rather investigate
them carefully. Certainly there are fewer repeat customers for Matrox based
on the number of customers they screwed.

In the PC business, 5 years of experience are all you need, because the half
life of most items is a year. [A person fiddling with PCs for 5 years has
experienced win95, win98, winnt, win2k and winxp. OK, so they don't know
WFW, and never ran XTree, but who cares.]  Sure it is fun to talk about
programming 6502s, but the relevance is weak at best, though people who
built uP systems have a better understanding of interrupts.
