Re: POLL: How did you buy from FCP?

My understanding, based on direct communication with the folks at FCP, is the banner ad wasn't working for them, that they remain committed to supporting MVS and just have to find a way that works for them, which they are in the process of exploring. Rather than a knee jerk, "I'm taking my busi...

Re: Los Angeles - running 1993 850 going to the dismantler?
