- Well, the XGA-2 problem has really taken a curve. It seems that IBM is
- FORCING Radius to charge $499 for the ISA card because they have stiff
- licesensing fees and such. In other words, the reason Radius is charging
- $200 more for the same card is because IBM really enjoys shooting itself
- in the foot.

- So much for caring about it's customers. Looks like all IBM really cares
- about are the wealthy few who can pump $$MEGA into the same thing the
- rest of us can't.

- This really sucks. The real slap is that the microchannel board is $100
