- Well I have had some *terrible* experiences with them. I found their
- answers to some of my questions rather elusive. I understood WHAT they
- were telling me but they said alot without saying anything. My friends
- GForce'30 board wont downgrade to 68000 mode with out crashing the
- machine. GVP's answer, "Well we found that it isn't necessary to use
- the 68000." THATS AN ANSWER!!! Thats b*ll*h*t!! If they are not going
- to support 68k mode then DONT say so on the box! And for me that
- example is just the TIP of the iceberg! When someone asks me about what
- to buy this and what to buy that I DONT say GVP.
