Hi,
just got a copy from Gary of that NC 2001 review, I stand corrected - thank
you.
To answer Greg's argument, I have to admit that while trying to find out where
SC based their awards on this afternoon, I couldn't actually find anything to
support the awards on a lists of merits or such, it seems they hid it
somewhere..;-) perhaps on an FTP site somewhere..
As you know, I am a fairly new reseller of IDS's in NL but am actually an NFR
partner and fan - biased or not, I like it, but am at the same time honestly
amazed at the jojo-effect in these reviews and tests.
So I'll be crossing my fingers and see what exactly you make of it Greg, in
your next review.. Is the latest Gig/set of NFR included?
Thanks for the follow-up Greg. Sometimes I piss someone off real bad, and they
stop talking to me. At which point I stop learning, if you get me.
Marnix
