I made a major effort to try and get us all back onto similar hardware. I suggested to you and Bruce that you made contact with Wullenweber and talked about arms negotiation. You didn't. You just carried on woffling away the usual thousands of words of obfuscation. I didn't try to go with a massive advantage over the top hardware target (you did). Get the difference now ? > >Of course I'm sure that if Bruce and I had tossed the alphas, you'd >certainly >have tossed the PII/300? Actually, yes I would.

I challenge you to moderate your own post and delete it :) When the moderator of personal insult has to resort to personal insult himself; that's the time to get out that Websters, and start thumbing through the H Y P O C R I T letters ....
