Hey Bud,

I am familiar with the SM100, as a matter of fact, I have run them Quad in 
SS20's before...  They are NOT Hypersparcs.  They are a Cypress chip which 
Ross put on board.

These are not an Upgrade to anything.  Don't get me wrong,  They do the Job, 
4x40 Mhz procs in a machine will do a LOT of small-task work, DNS, SaMBa. 
sendmail... great for non-interactive/non-X stuff.  But Selling them as an 
Upgrade borders (in my opinion) on being intentionally less-than-truthful.

Maybe, if you are getting tired of the e-mails, it's time to review your ad 
copy.  Maybe it's not the senders of the e-mail who "don't know what they are 
talking about"

Yes, PLEASE, I agree wholeheartedly.
