Hey,

The only thing 100% wrong was that YOU bought a product that didn't work for
your application.  How were you screwed as you put it?

Were there Open GL drivers in the box or not?  If they were not in the box
YOU made a mistake and should have returned the product or tried to get Open
GL drivers for the board.  When YOU could not get Open GL drivers that
worked YOU should have returned the product.  If YOU couldn't return the
product then YOU made a mistake because YOU didn't but it from a dealer that
would back up the products he sells or if YOU didn't figure it out in time
to return the board within the return period YOU made another mistake.

If there were indeed Open GL drivers in the box and they didn't work YOU
should have returned the product or tried to get working Open GL drivers.
If YOU didn't return the product then YOU made the mistake.  If YOU tried to
get working Open GL drivers and they still didn't work YOU should have
returned the product within the time allowed for returns, if YOU didn't
return the product in time YOU made a mistake.

If YOU kept the card that didn't have drivers for your Open GL applications
then YOU made a mistake.  If YOU kept the card YOU made a mistake in
judgment and YOU got what you deserved.  All of the purchase decisions were
made by YOU.  How did Matrox screw You?  What part of this do YOU not
understand?


Regards,

Chip Louie
