Since when? I know Supra is giving the user a choice on the particular board.
(I know they have 3 boards planned, all based on the same basic design) And
``very likely''. I think Dave (Haynie, not Wright) said an '040 board for
the 3000 will be very basic. Marc, I'd watch what you say, since you
*obviously* don't know what you're talking about. On the other hand, I'm
more inclined to believe Dave Wright, since not only does he have a reputation
for being right, but it's been stated by Haynie that it was Just That Simple.
You, on the other hand, have a nasty reputation for being rude, obnovious, and
above all, WRONG.
