- Well more to the point. WHY does GVP advertise it on the package and
- when someone calls in because they cant get it to work GVP says "We
- havn't found a reason to use the 68k mode." Make it work 100% of the
- time or stop advertising that you can do it! Or at least give the user
- help in getting it to work. The conversation about the problem between
- the user and GVP was told to me second hand by the user. He MAY have
- misunderstood what was said because he was, understandably, upset to
- say the least. But I believed him because I have had that type of
- conversation with GVP. When I have to spend $500+ of MY OWN money to
- cover a vendors mistake I think VERY LITTLE of them!!!! I don't like
- GVP, peroid.
