There's a difference between a Performer group or even Linux group and a
PC hardware discussion/support forum.

It's not encumbent upon SGI to support this, SGI should and must focus
on the specific products it offer. Look on the web and usenet for the
more generic forums. There are news groups and mailing lists up the
wazoo for this sort of stuff, including Linux forums and vis-sim forums.
Warning though, if you go off topic on some of those forums you'd better
be wearing your asbestos pants.

My comment on the abuse of Jon Johanson's rights;
After giving up raiding their neighboring countries the Norse men
have taken to raiding 15 year old kids in their bedrooms. Very sad.
