Wasn't trying to be personal.. it just seemed like you were out to prove something and I thought it was funny since it was rather trivial. >I wasn't try to prove you wrong.

So yes I think it is >important and sorry you took offense. Seems like we just miscommunicated a bit in both directions. Also, I was rather annoyed by the original message and hadn't gotten it out of my system yet. Perhaps a pot of coffee first would have lightened me up a bit. Sorry for being perhaps a bit overreactive. Now that ATI has updated their drivers to support the Powered by cards, etc. though, I guess the whole email thread is rather moot now. I'm glad to see ATI respond so quickly, however I'm not surprised that they've done so. Take care, TTYL -- Mike A.
