Brandon, I am sorry you are upset with the posting. From reading the intro to the list I thought posting ads was ok if you put [AD] in the subject. I think the cost of the kit is reasonable. If you were to purchase all the included parts in single item quantities it would probably cost you more than $19... not to mention the intangible costs for designing and supporting the boot loader. - Dan At 07:06 PM 6/25/02 -0400, you wrote: >Hey, what a rip off.
