- Yes, I have seen that figure too, but I wonder how much it will speed up the
- falcon. We just have to see what happens, but it does sound nice.

- He said that it had some problems with compatiblity, but that is perfectly normal.
- He did also say that Compo set it up completly wrong, but Doug have fixed this by

- release it yet in Uk as there still is some problems, that Doug have apperently
- solved (atleast some of them). So why doesn't Compo contact him then?
