ARRGH!!  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.
