The comment was actually to get druck to appreciate that he had quoted
something that was a year out of date - and arguably destroyed his argument.
It does make it hard when you have to explain it all in such simple
steps. ;-(

Here is a classic example of Cartmell deception. He made a worthless
asside on spelling and is now trying to say it was pointing out an
out of date quote. A quote which was taken from Advantage 6's current
website, and if it is out of date as he claims, there is nothing to
tell any potential customer that.

All I'm defending in this thread is a claim that, if a computer does all that
you need now, then there is no reason to take note of an instruction not to
buy it 'because it's supposed to be able to do more'.

I won't ask you to defend druck's tirade against that suggestion - but if you
have a reasoned argument against it then make that argument. Note that it
needs no technical understanding of computers to make a valid comment on the
claim.

Another piece of deviousness, at no point have I ever suggested that
anyone should not buy an A9. This about his outrageous stupidity in
claiming that an unfinished machine, but the admission of its maker
can be described as "complete".

Or put another way, you ignored all the parts of druck's post (and
indeed, my earlier post) where he demonstrated that (as usual) you were
talking drivel.

He demonstrated that he used a very out of date quote to demolish his own
argument.

And the first lie repeated in another post.

Being pedantic you might insist on 'Perhaps' rather than Perhaps. Perhaps you
are also struggling to notice the reference to druck being wound up, or that,
unlike druck, I accept that our views can differ without contradiction? For
some reason you obviously care (why?) but do you understand why I say that
druck's typos really don't matter - except to signal that he hasn't got the
slightest idea what he is arguing about - except that he wants to say that
he's 'agin' me?

I'm afraid John, you are not winding me up, that would take more than
a deluded halfwit, which the pathetic whittering above shows you to
be.
