Yeah, me too.  I am surprised by those who come here, soak up all the
free list knowledge, mix in a little of there own, and now want to sell
what they have.  

Or those who just plain want to sell what they find here.  Not
interested in giving back from those who gave.  Bruce said there were
two kind of list people, givers and takers.  Where do you place
yourself?

Thanks.

Now that is just a piece of pure advertising hype.  All the P4's run at
the same speed of 8192 bps, you have just shortened up the list of
variables to send the same variable more often.  No more "frames" per
second, because more frames would mean more overhead, it's just more of
the same variable per second, repeated in a frame.

You may find some disagreement.

Why does a commercial enterprise have to come to a DIY list and soak up
all the list's free documentaion anyway?  Let's face it.  What did you
REALLY know about GM scan tools before you came here to this list? 

Who is going to come here next?  IBM? Kodak? Hewlett-Packard?  No, I
think those places pay for their own reseach, and don't get it off home
brew lists.

It is difficult to repect any commercial enterprise who comes to a DIY
list, sucks up free list info, and tries to now re-package and sell that
info.  But I am getting redundant.

No more...
