Dear Thorsten

first of all, thanks for a reply.
I think, it ain't too helpfull, to fill it up with sarcasm, instead of
tryin' to give useable answeres, as YOU ARE - no doubt, on of the people
who spent a lot of time , work + knowledge on it.( CS Tal )

>Dedicated. Unbelievable.<

Brilliant - I ain't no dictionary; but if I don't get things absolutely
wrong, " dedicated" means as well - " gewidmet ", so : adressed.
Old fashined English - but useable, as I suppose.

>Nananana !<

No reason for this - sounding kinda " Oberlehrerhaft " , to use a german
word - wouldn't you be angry, if you rely on statements, go home kinda
happy, founding something new for your board + then realising, it is
-whatever - but not true ?!

>No ? Aha.<

No comment on this.

>I was a witness and able to test all 3 boards.
But thats a few years back. In the same time Chris programmers had the
choice to put some bugs into the code - or to rem it out, or to throw
the code out of the sources, so : Whatever worked in the past, I cannot
tell you about the status of the current comercial version.
But I have myself connected it to the SAITEK and c232-board.
Concerning your TASC-board I can only tell you that TASC (!!!) send
Oxford-
Softworks a board and made some negotiations to get it ready.
I don't know if or why it failed. I can only guess that it once worked
or that TASC was unable to get it ready. Whatever.<

The main CS Tal page didn't give me the intention, that the mentioned
possibilities were from way back when - + this'd be certainly something
brandnew to advertising ideas.

I don't know, how to say it.....
I didn't ask for who sent whom what, or what worked once !
Fact is, that there is a clear, impossible to missunderstand, described
function of this program which simply ain't true.

>(if this is a holiday, maybe he stays there to be a
PERLENFISCHER) ad clears the problem. Asking somebody in the company is
no good idea.<

Jesus : WHERE / WHICH is the better way ??
If NOT questioning a hotline ??

>the boss
driver ROVER or Mercedes, the worker drives  VW. If you want to get
SERVICE, you have to wait until the boss drives VW and the worker
Mercedes... :-)<

Sorry - this is SO much leading away from my questions + problem - I
just don't want to get involved in theories of social /society or
whatsoever.

>CSTal does not need much hash. What do you want with all the hash ?
This is not FRITZ5, this is an intelligent program.<

Willing to believe in " intelligent program ".
On the other hand - do me the favour + leave it up to my decision, why
I implement a certain ammount of hash or not.
Maybe I even work on cover designing for our CD's + you'd be amazed,
how much RAM these programs require during their work......

>Only a few fools in germany (Moritz Berger and you), who think they need
hash because they have owned Fritz5 (hehehe!:-) need more than 64 MB
ram.
I really believe nobody in chris company has more than 64 MB. WHY ??
There is absolutely no reason to have more RAM.
If you want to get a CSTal that recognizes more RAM you have to wait
until the OXFORD-COMPANY buys themselves new RAM.<

I ain't really sure :
If I remember right, you are one of the founders of this group.
With the clear aim, to keep things neutral, friendly ( topic - I've come
to hate this recently so often missused word ) and more of this.

What you just wrote, my friend, is such a personal insult, naming me one
of two fools in Germany, who......that I won't take it. You have not one
millimeter more rights to do things than otheres in this group.
If the founders of this group let you get away with such bad behaviour,
it's time for me to leave - at once.

>You have to reconsider that they are not the mass-market
fast-stupid-search-company. They all work in chris' slow-knowledge
paradigm. Therefore they are all brainwashed to think into Chris' major
believes.<

This is an answer like the throw out of a fog canon. Doesn't answer my
question in no way.
I didn't suggest Oxford to be mass-fast-stupid or near to Pulitzer
prize, I simply asked, HOW to set up the ANNOUNCED more hash, as stated
in the montioned text of Mr. Whittington . not more !

>Ich wuerde dir also raten die Firma Oxford-Softorks zu verklagen. Oder
TASC.<

C'mon, Thorsten Czub - will ya please :
WHO produces this product, WHO did the annoncements in the web, WHO gave
advice to write the highlights of the program onto the box......TASC ??
Ever thought of the possibility, to bring a patch, along with a 2 k text
"...sorry, we've missed something....her's the fix..."

>Which new idea ? I don't understand the context, sorry.<

I think, you don't want to.
Isn't it so, that the TAL function of this program is announced to be
revolutionary + very well worth to be tested....and bought ?
This, was the contex.

>I don't think that you will get ANY quick solution ! :-)<

This last sentence clears the situation for me - dissappointingly.

As you told me, you work in retailing buisness, just like me.
One of the major rules is :
never debate, argue or quarrel with a customer.
Never give him the feeling, that you take him or his wishes not serious.
You'll never win - and if you win - you've allready lost - the customer.

I think - with your impulsive, agresssive answer you did something for
your friend, companion, boss - whatever - what we call in German :

Einen Bärendienst

Regards

ELVIS
