- My goodness. I have read plenty of messages from Darek that made me lose
- respect for him. This, however, is _not_ one of them. All of what Darek
- said seemed level-headed and well documented, down to the calculations of
- bytes transferred in screen redraws. Most of csullogg's responses were
- infantile and often incorrect. I think he disgraced himself (and not
- Darek) in this post.

- By the way, the slowness of Pagestream redraws is due to poor algorithms
- and/or coding, not the speed of the ST. DTP programs for the mac redraw
- quite satisfactorily under Spectre GCR on a stock ST. Take a look at
- Calamus if you'd like to see the result of good redraw algorithms. If
- pagestream is depressing you, don't upgrade your machine, pressure
- SoftLogik to upgrade the program to make it usable.
