Recently I responded to a posting and mentioned that QUADTEL & MR BIOS
were the best BIOS's out there.  I stated that I preferred MR BIOS over
QUADTEL, as the source code was "cleaner."

It was pointed out to me that this comment may have been inappropriate,
and that my opinion may have been based on insider information I allegedly
have access to.

Let me say that I view QUADTEL and MR BIOS on equal ground.  I
would recommend either BIOS at the drop of a hat.  I feel that BOTH
BIOSes outperform and are more reliable than any of the major BIOS
vendors.  This information was not obtained via any insider knowledge.
I have spoken to mother board manufacturers and asked their opinion.
Based on the aforementioned reasons, they are much more pleased with
QUADTEL and MR BIOS than any of the major BIOS vendors.

Given the parity of these two BIOSes, my sole grounds for recommending
MR BIOS over QUADTEL are benchmarks, and my relationship with MR BIOS.
MR BIOS is a good personal friend of mine.

Since I made my initial statements publicly, I felt that a public
apology/clarification was in order.  Hopefully I have sufficiently
explained myself.
