Well, since you wish to keep this discussion going in public (rather than
"confine our comments to private email"), here goes:

You don't know what you are talking about. The Radio Shack AC adapter works.
Yes, I'm sure there are others that don't. Telling us we need to buy the
Casio $50 adapter is not doing anyone a great service. Also, why don't you
reread Margo's posts of the last few days. She was referring to more than
the AC adapter when talking about voiding warranties (if she wasn't, she
made herself *very* unclear).

Also, Margo is speaking in the capacity as an official representative of
Casio. If we take umbrage at something she says, our ire is directed at
Margo-the-Casio-employee not Margo-the-person. No one attacked Margo
personally; but comments were made concerning Casio policies.

I have been peeved at certain GW Reps on AOL. But finding out that they are
unpaid volunteers, rather than Geoworks employees did change my attitude
about them (although some of them do work for Geoworks).
