- - Gee, does that mean I should sell my GVP 22Mhz Combo and get a G-Force ??

- Hi monster! I would say yes if it was nearly remote the same situation,
- I would say yes...
-
- M.A.S.T. has a history of bad products and bad product support, many
- people have been burned by "Tiny Tigers" and other products. They, however,
- also have had working products.
-
- The ColorBurst is an Australian invention that was sold by M.A.S.T.
- before it was finished, the hardware was passable but the software was
- crap. Not only were customers disgusted but also the inventor, so he
- broke the deal with M.A.S.T. and started on OpalVision. The idea seems
- to be to finish both the hardware and the software before selling it...
-
- To expect M.A.S.T. to finish the software and start to support a product
- after it's discontinued is to hope for much, indeed. You would even be
- better off buying the discontinued Black Belt product (which I have
- forgotten the name of, although I've owned one :-). They are at least
- working on/selling the software.
-
- What logic do you have? :-)
