Harv! I just had to look this thread up all these years later, especially since Commodore filed for bankruptcy a scant 2 months after my editorial in ViewPort. Did you know that Jim Norris wrote me to tell me how sorry he was for starting this thread? He mentioned that it was you who fed him all the misinformation. So yes, something smells rotten, but it would appear that it's your own orifice into which you'd inserted your finger.
