   isn't because they can sell us Palladium for extra cost and then sell
   us Palladium "support" (again extra cost) while they fix it so that it
   works. [end sarcasm]

You know, I've been resisting the urge to defend myself against Atkinson's
uninformed, hysterical attacks, but I've just lost my self-control.  I
know I'll hate myself later for getting into a flame war....

Randall Atkinson hasn't been involved with the 1003.7.1 group at all,
at least not in the last 2.5 years.  If he had spent any time working
with us, he would know that the people on the group are engineers trying
to solve a problem, not marketing types trying to make money off other 
people's misfortune.  

If he has legitmate technical concerns with Palladium, I'd appreciate
it if he brought them forward, rather than posting nasty cracks about
people's motives.
