- Ditto, And have unfortunately been on the Un-Receiving end.
- Fortunately not in this case, but others.
-
- And just in case someone is wondering, It does feel a little

- I can think of atleast 1 CO., Who has had Yrs. of underhanded
- Biz practices, and who changed their name and still conducts
- Biz.in the Amiga Market.
-
- I can't comment on Wonder, never dealt with them, but I think it's
- understandable for any Amiga user who's witnessed the last several
- Yrs of Amiga life to be concerned.
-
- But I too am puzzeled over the Compton thing, the Man does'nt/

- In this or probably any Biz, The Guilt by Association, even in a
- Post-Type-Of-Biz can be harmfull to ones Biz., even if it was a
