Hate mail? I hated your review not you. Your review reminds me of the drival that zdnet just put out on the Athlon XP. And is a perfect example how reviews twist and skew things. If you don't know about zdnet's review it comes down to this. I read 10 reveiws about the athlon xp. 10 of them show the Athlon 1800 xp out performing the P4 2 ghz by 10 to 15% on every test except quake 3 at 640 by 480, where the P4 won by a slight margin. The conclusions on the xp were the same for 9 reviews. It is a much better chip at a much lower price. The zdnet review comment There was no clear winner and the P4 outperformed the athlon on several test. (several meaning one). If you read this far (which I doubt) the moral is. Un finnished and one sided veiws in reveiws end up with skewed outputs and hurt the consumer. No time did your articles on any of the software say. That you will be taking a look at only those things related to landscape. So one would assume you tried to reveiw the whole software. A few last comments. I have been there and turned down reveiwing software. The reason was the software to be reveiwed was really an unfinnished program and, I could not give it even remotely passing marks. I turned it down because I knew if the review was bad that it could hurt that webpage owners chances for more opportunities from that manufacture. If you didn't want critism you shouldn't have posted for critism. check out indepth arts reviews especially the ET shade review. Perhaps you will learn something (judging from your high opinion of yourself and your inablity to accept comments, I highly doubt it though) Griggs
