Jeeze Al, give the guy a break. Maybe he's like me and just can't afford
the silly thing. I need one to drive a 4" TEWS display for my F-15
project and will likely have to scratch build one just because of the
cost.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.

That's the sort of idiotic comment that's typical here too.
The origianl suggestion of this product was entirely reasoanble, but Bill
decided he doesn't wnat to use it. Fine, that's his choice. I don;'t
see why that deserves a flame.
For most people here, this is a hobby. I am quite sure that Bill is
running his SWTP 6800 as a hobby, I can't believe he is running a
business using such a machine.
A hobby is somethign you do because you enjoy doing it. Personally I
enjoy designing and building circuitry. I susepct that Bill is similar.
We'd rather use out braisn than our wallets :-) As for time being
'wrothless', if I'm not building ciorcuitry, or repairing classic
computers, or any of the other things I enjoy doing, what would I be
doing? Watching TV? I know which is a bigger waste of time! FWIW, there
are plenty of other hobbys that I don't take part in becasue I don't
enjoy them, but I am not going to tell those that do that they must think
their time is worthless. How they decided to spend their free time is
entirely thier business.
I've don't know much abotu the SWTP6800, I don't think I've ever seen
one. But from what I've read, it meets any reasonalbe defintion of
'classic computer'. Bill wants ot make a perpipehral for his classic
computer. That would seem to be totally on-topic for this list.

I am interested in this thread but after two days, I still have not
seen the original posting or any of these follow-ups. I only see Tony's
response to what others have apparently posted. Why does much of the
traffic on this list come out in non-sequential order or not at all?
