SSDF never accepted any >hardware from CB, only a non-public (software)autoplayer. I understand - and, your situation, as well. In advance - please keep in mind, and if you don't know, let me tell you, that I've allway had, shown + stated greatest respect towards the private people within the SSDF - which mainly results from them old times, where you had to carry huge boards around and play hours by hours..... Beside this, and with this comment I'll end this up from my side for not to bore the comrades here, Paul - name it hardware, software - brickware, it doesn't depend. It was very, very - unlucky - to name it this way , to accept an unknown, non-commerial available thing thru' a retailing company - which is the distributor of the product itself. In the end, I don't doubt, don't question, - but have an unpleasant feeling about this, which I share with alot of others - because it opens doors for suggestions of all kinds. Naturally none of them against SSDF. That's all. >You should read my postings more carefully.

Of course not - different suggestions, see above. >I am really surprised that someone that says that he is interested in >the truth shows so little enthusiasm when a opportunity to settle this >suddenly appears. I would have expected the opposite. I haven't got much enthusiasm left anymore in general - beside this, I be- lieve, the one + only way - to clear up everything, would have been the original autoplayer given to SSDF. This one, and no different one. >I´m pretty suspicious myself, but I would like some hard facts before I >start makeing conspiracy theories. Sure - if one does so.... >You shouldn´t be so upset then if you got a little flak from others with >different oppinions! I ain't upset Paul. It's just my tradition - allways 100 % - all or nothin'. >As clearly as a newborn kitten. :) That's fine ! Keep on rockin' ELVIS
