If so, it's odd that only one side of the story is here... I've been
looking for email addresses from matrox or xinside, haven't seen them.
If they have anything to say, I'd like to hear that their product has a
lifetime longer than the latest version. I'd like to hear from matrox
that "whoin hell is this guy and he is wrong", but I haven't. I fired a
message off to matrox, and probably because I was a tad miffed when I
wrote it (i was polite), I haven't gotten a response. Well, like I said,
"it sounds like they are a bunch of *******". In the meantime, I'll
stick with products that I KNOW don't have a question mark next to
customer and developer support. Diamond comes to mind. Ironically, so
does Microsoft.
