All this, of course, is my own humble opinion. ;) I am not saying his reviews and opinions are worng, but I think his choice of words are in referring to it as a toy. I am pissed not just with that but with the whole CM6K bashing. Just because there have been alot of threads about CM6K it is mainly about testing the program. And I am getting fed up with people saying to shut up talking about it, and to keep putting in little jabs about what is wrong with it.and their way to get back is to keep writing some posts about CM and to keep going over the same points about what it lacks, over and over and over and over and over again. From now on, when there is a CM6K bashing post, I am going to ignore it, even if they say something which is totally wrong. Its not worth writing these posts to reply and to repeat the same things over and over and over and over and over again. I have Rebel 10, and I have Fritz 5, and also CM6K, I like them all and at the moment I am only playing with CM6K. We all know what it lacks and I just wish people would just shut the hell up and stop posting what it lacks over and over and over and over again Regards Micheal
