Recently in talking to a friend who runs a public access unit site I was
informed that Tandy has sold out it's remaining stock of 6000's to a
Home Shopping Network and there will be no support...
Anybody else heard this nasty one?

Oh.. Also recently had another friend who had 5 6000's in use at his business.
He ordered the 2 meg expansion boards and of the 5 he got 1 that worked.  He got
so upset he sold em all and bought a 386 Unix box.

Anyway... I went ahead and designed my own MMU and for about $5 in parts you
can give youselves 7 meg of mem space... I've had up to 3 meg running myself.
Too bad I can't get the compiler to allocate more space for symbol tables..
I might even be able to compile Omega or Nethack.
