Bob -- Most, if not all of the Negatives were for electronic equipment, not chips, and sloppy business practices. I am no apologist for Rene, just a chipper who is interested in chip related posts and collecting chips. I think this negative crap, once the information is out, only brings disrepute on our hobby. Regarding the previous response -- my old Pappy always said not to get into a sh*t slinging contest with a guy who lives in a pig pen. Since an intelligent discussion is not possible,I am backing out.
