I have to side with Eric on this one. All those "typos" on the specs are really big typos if you can call them that. If they really are typos it shows an incredible amount of incompetence on their part. To me that is a huge sign of the quality you can expect from their products, junk. Anyway, I guess we can only wait and see.

I think the Kogan guys are asking for it for (apparently) trying to b*ull*s*hit us and Eric is just calling them on that. Nothing wrong with that. Truth will persevere at the end. >>I'm going to stop responding to your posts on Kogan because the more of >>them I read the more they seem like attempts to run down a competitors >>reputtation, and thats a negative spiral I really don't want to be part of.
