	This is pretty lame.  SI! is more compatible than the Manager,
especially with DG and DT.  At AEW I had both DG & DT running, so I
could switch easily between the two.  I couldn't do that with TM.

	QC isn't carrying SI! and I hope the average review isn't due
to this.  If so, it's very lame.  Let's give the manager a great
review, so everybody will run out and buy it from us!

	Who reviewed the two programs?
