I never cold-shouldered them, at least not intentionally, I just supported David's assertion that they were better performers if you were looking for new cards and you didn't _care_ about the cost issues so much as simply getting a box stuffed with the best of the best. As I told Dennis, I still buy the DC21xxx cards (and even some old DC21040 cards, one of which I just received in the mail a few days ago, brand new and in the shrink-wrap) and they still work for me with 2.2.
