Here we go again!!!!!

I'm not going to get into the loading times arguement again, all I will say
is that the reason the postings have been "so abusive" is because the 4D is
un-reliable, its a "One Of" therefore its not worth the effort to solve the
problems, the key of cause is that it was built to that well known oxymoron:
"Goninan Quality"
