- Amen! I didn't get my request *form* from Supra until several weeks
- after many netters reported getting their new ROMS. Two days later I
- sent it back and didn't get my ROMS until one month later. No big deal.
-
- As before, my Supra modem works fine. No heat, no crashes, no problems.
- I have been able to crash the modem by putting it into bizzarre modes,
- where it really shouldn't crash. That doesn't bother me because I just
- don't normally use the modem in that way. There are certain things my
- car should do but doesn't. Do I flame the manufacturer all to hell.
- No. I just quietly consider buying another car. It's not my loss,
- it's theirs.
-
- BTW, those that *do* use the modem in miscellaneous ways are probably
- ticked off. Some people have purchased Supras as well as other brands
- and do nothing buy flame the manufacturer month after month. I simply
- suggest buying another modem and shut up.
