Many people who have older hardware think it is only fair to support BOTH
standards!! If you don't get the logic, I give UP!
Say you had a step mother and she has a kid. Both you and her kid are rotten
scums (being old hardware). Is it fair for her (IBM) to dump you (Herc) but 
not her kid (CGA)?? If IBM wants to support old hardware, why not ALL?! They
only seem to support their own. A bad step mother.

This is NOT about mistakes, it's about supporting Herc!!! I want them to undo
first mistake (as you stated).

>At least, they pulled support for one obsolete mode.

Wait until they pull support on soon to be outdated VGA... What are you going 
to say then? Beat yourself? 
Though I doubt they will pull support on THEIR own standard VGA.

You sound like you have never used Hercules card. There are many, repeat many,
applications support standard Hercules. Don't try to make a comment on a
product you have no experience with!

Let's drop this subject. I know IBM will never support standards other than
its own. No matter how big my voice is, they won't listen... No wonder many
people stay away from IBM products. They are too arrogant and insensitive to
customers' demand. I learn my lesson.... (sigh)
No need to reply. I got too tired of explaining. Good luck with your not so
outdated video.
