Is this for a XXV, like a micro? I still don't know all the small saws(or any for that matter).

The s25s with the 38cc engine, the "green bricks" from the main chainsaw forum thread of tophandle internet nastiness. Some dudes going on and on how crappy they were, when they rip like..not big dogs, but think a pit bull yapper poodle cross...
As in "OMG anyone no matter the situation can't cut wood unless it is a 600 buck and tax $tihl!!!! It won't cut, your hands will fall off, the neighbors will sue for emotional distress, you'll get dandruff, your kids won't come home from school, they'll camp out there instead, your dog will run away because he can't stand the noise.."" blah blah blah. It was annoying.
Ha, I'll take at least a good helping of blame, I was an instigator.
I'm not a wood snob, I'll burn anything composed of cellulose and lignin, nor am I a saw snob, I like cheap, runs, chain goes round and round brand saws. I have preferences now for cheap and runs, and definitely preferences now for working on them. I'll put up with minor things in order to maintain my "cheap and runs and easier to work on" stance. To ME, one lb or small change thereabouts is not enough difference to justify an additional 500 bucks (whatever) in cost to go cut these branches here, nor is one or two seconds more in the cut.
To other guys, that's a significant difference and they can justify the cost, and pay it willingly, either from just a personal satisfaction level, or a professional level, etc.
But....there's no reason to get nasty about it either way, and in the other threads, nastiness erupted for no reason at all.
It's lame..I lived in the motor city era during the heyday of the horsepower and street racing wars, ford/dodge/chevy fanatics, loons if ya ask me, it was insane, really. People actually *died* over that crap, got in wild fights, etc, street raced to wrecksville and killed themselves or others over..freeking brand loyalty? Nuts. I've been in the UAW and all my friends were at different places of the big three as well, it's just wfere we all worked. Those companies all made winners and lemons. Just the facts. I have owned good and bad with all three of them.
Same with saws or anything else, you got some good designs, you got some not so good, and plenty of "good enough" which will actually suit 99% of the wood cutting that goes on.
