I for one, hope this information is true if this new program will not be an
internet fed only program. While the internet is a great medium, it is far
from being an ends to all means. Dial-ups are too slow, T1's too costly, and
cable modems and DSL have their drawbacks. Those of us in more rural areas
don't have the luxury of reliable internet services and need alternatives
like satellite feeds and not the $80 per month internet via satellite kind
of schemes.
I can certainly wait since I have waited this long just for an upgrade to
2000i. As many people who like TS, I believe there are equally as many who
do not like TS but see it as the only game in town. Nothing would please me
more than to see a strong TS competitor. Hopefully this new game will have a
strong financial backing for promotion, and advertising, as well as a great
piece of software. If they do, then the world will beat a path to their door
and we can kiss the arrogant Cruz brothers goodbye.
