Thanks Mr Shaw I don't know how I missed this site up to this point. I'm a big linux user, and a definitely someone who likes to see test results or more objective data when evaluating things. So this kind of stuff is great. He's even a fan of the alpha mount. I need to dig more into what he's got here, thanks for posting this.
