Re: RE:EDP or REPEATER?

[Marklar <sine@zerocrossing.net>]

no foul.  I think we both made the mistake of answering a question in 
absolutes, when it's a bit of a gray area.  For my application, the 
Repeater behaves fine, you've got obvious and justified beefs in the 
way the Repeater loops.  Believe me, I was on this list for the year 
of "it will be out soon..." and the "Woops, the bug free software we 
promised will be out soon..." times.  I was a beta tester of OS 1.1 
I respect Electrix's decision of making me a beta tester even though 
my company's been developing a rival product, The Againinator.  When 
it's finally done, it will have the glitch free loops you so long 
for, and will fetch your newspaper each morning.
