Perhaps so, but Varion's got a good deal going -- defer all support to the 
lists.  :-)

I am not bashing your choice, as it was a judgement call.  I was just curious 
as to why you chose to contact the list first instead of the people you 
bought the card from.

(I'm not withholding help or anything... you didn't give any information to 
start, but secondary to that is the fact that I don't have any experience 
with the Varion cards.  I was merely curious.)

-A.

PS - it is considered bad ettiquette to CC the author as well as the list, I 
am already subscribed so I get two copies.  Others may disagree and prefer to 
be CC'd as well but I believe that they're the minority and should include 
the specific request in their .sig.
