Is Soda supposed to ported to 3dfx? Obviously if it is it will be after
nascar2, but are there even plans to do it? Thanks

Looks like we have different explanations of the word "communication". But I
agree with you that they are a little bit too shy about the SODA-3dfx patch.
I think it's dead. But with Papyrus (oops Software Allies in a certain way),
you never know....

I hope, for the sake of consumers in your immediate locale, that you are
*NOT* involved in any way with sales. The meaning of the word "service"
to you would probably mean having your dog mated.

Because the unreasonable customers tend to generate more bad publicity
than any benefit you would get from telling something to the
reasonable ones.

As it happens I am European manager of marketing and customer service
for one of the largest semiconductor companies in the world, and IMHO
I believe that I know my subject very well. In my opinion you are
making the mistake of applying general principles to an area where
they are not appropriate. The defining fact in this case is that
Papyrus (nor any other company) DO NOT NEED to be here, and you'll
find therefore that their approach to customer service is modified
accordingly. Technical and customer service are services which have to
be provided, and people with infinite patience and high tolerance are
hired accordingly to do this via the official telephone support lines.
Support on r.a.s. is NOT something which has to be done or makes much
difference to sales - they'll get feedback and suggestions on products
whether they are here or not since we'll discuss them even in the
absence of any company representative. There is therefore no need for
someone to hang around if they are taking abuse. As Greg pointed out,
it CAN be done, but why on earth would anyone want to?
Cheers!
