So what do you want, Randy?  Do you just expect the IIGS market
to dry up and die?  Is that what you want?  Right now right here?

Just because you don't want to buy anything from Alltech or ///SHH
does not mean nobody else does.  Why spread doom and gloom?

As for the Chinook drive, Sequential basically took over production
of that.  And who knows, maybe Alltech will take over production
now.  Sell adapters maybe.  Did you know that the Focus drive used
to cost around $500 average before Alltech took over from the old
owner?  It was Alltech that lowered the price to less than $100 and
they've been rewarded many times over with a hot selling IIGS item.
Half the new IIGS users, maybe more, that I contact email back
and tell me they purchase the Focus.  So what's the keep the same
thing from happening with a revived Alltech Chinook drive?
