END OF RANT

For all of you who put up with my rant of yesterday, I thank you. To those who replied (publicly or privately) with comments on my rants, I think some very good points were made [although I may not agree with all of them] and I have responded to some [privately] I really value this forum, and agree with those who believe that there are plenty of OTHER forums for discussing PC/Windows and that this is NOT the place. On the other hand, (as preiously posted) if someone is looking to duplicate the original cassette interface, that would surely be a "classic" issue. [ps: I do have an operational DX4/100 VESA Local Bus machine with 20Meg operational if someone wants to buy it....]. My intended point was that posts which exist simply to say negative things about a topic which is not pertinant to the forum anyway [i.e. PC/Windows] serves no purpose. And in my personal case lowers my opinion of the poster [most of whom I hold in very high regard]. I think that is enough on the subject, and would be greatful if nobody replys [at least on the forum] to this post. Sincerely, David
