Re: Smart Motor hopes dashed

ballendo,

thanks for the kind words... i appreciate what you said, and i'm
already on that path... yes, capitalism defeated me on this one, but
it looks like capitalism really does work since now several companies
are going to get my money instead of just one... i'm not despaired,
just really peeved that such a great solution to my problem was going
to cost me so much money... i hate when that happens...

question, are there any other or rather better drivers then the
geckos for around the same price...? i don't mind spending a little
extra cash then what the gecko's are going for, but are they really
that good, or just that cheap...?
