Once again, someone posts a teaser with NO follow-up or contact information.... - WHO produces Soft-PC? - WHERE can I buy it from? - HOW MUCH does it cost? - WHAT kind of hardware does it need to run? - And WHY, WHY, WHY didn't you include any of this information in your original posting????? Postings such as the above teaser are well-nigh USELESS unless they include some real information about the product. I love being able to hear about great new stuff over the net, but I HATE not being given enough details! Please, all of you, when you post a hot tip like the one above, tell us *everything* you know (or as much as you can tell, anyway), so I don't have to waste bandwidth with a posting like this.
