Please.  You're so far out in left field you need a space shuttle to
keep in touch.  My hardware (and the hardware for the 50+ systems at the
Clearwater airport I maintain) is the latest and have no problems with
Matrox cards or drivers.  I'm talking a mixture of clones plus name
brands like Compaq, IBM, Dell and NEC.

If you're going to "try" and rub a product into the dirt, at least know
what you're talking about before the attempt.

More stable now with Beta2 but that couldn't be claimed just a few weeks
ago.  You forget, I beta test Comm 4.61 also so I'm well aware of the
problems people have been having with it.  Video drivers have NOT been
any major issue, Matrox or not.  So, try again.

Then you haven't been following the beta information very close.
