Yep, Burst bought UltraspeedUSA. I'm glad that there will be some stability now (hopefully).

As long as the pricing stays the same and the support is there, I'm going to stay. But, I'll be watching closely. :)

When I left the board this afternoon, all was quiet. I just hop on to check things out and I don't know what to say... still trying to catch up and figure out what is going on.

I don't see a need for 80 threads about this though. Please discuss this issue here:
