Sadly, Gravis had NO idea how to properly market a sound card as they were "simple" joystick manufacturers (etc).

It was always amazing to setup two systems next to one another for the serial "network" game (one with a Creative board the other with an Ultrasound board) and compare the sound quality. It was amazing. Plus id has always put so much time and thought into the graphic and sound quality it's clearly a different experience when you compare them.

Ah... Memory lane. Thanks.

In addition if anyone remembers, there were plenty of issues between id, Creative and (wait for it) Gravis. Yes, for anyone old enough to remember those days, the UltraSound card by Gravis was the first wave table sound card and VASTLY superior to anything (non)Creative Labs ever put out.

id's support of the UltraSound card was a bone of contention for Creative and I can easily see that Creative would have a hair across their collective ass(ets) including something they (creative) might want to litigate for.

I love wanna be intellectuals commenting like they are being funny. I was joking around you ass-hat.

Anyway, if you want, here's something for you to chew on dim whit.

According to what I found online the J-2X looks like it's a step backwards. According to the data on wiki it's bigger, heavier, produces less thrust than the J-2S therefore causing it's thrust to weight ratio to be less than BOTH the J-2 and J-2S.

No, you're not setting the bar too high, but apparently you bar is low enough most won't trip over it.

I shouldn't expect much of a comment from someone who has a ID number in the tens of millions.
