Also the 500 came with the Fat Agnus (or so says the manual, a friend has the computer right now, and I have not popped it open to see what rev the motherboard is). And I was delighted to see that they finally heard me back there. Right when the 500 came out, I dropped a note to Paul Higgenbothem (sp?) and suggested that C= stick a simple handle on the box to turn it into a carrying case. Well, hot dang! They dun did it! Everyone who has had to haul a 500 thru LAX going to a show knows what a pain it can be, and the little handle sure will make it easier. Attention to details like that really count. *** mike smithwick *** "Los Angeles : Where neon goes to die" [disclaimer : nope, I don't work for NASA, I take full blame for my ideas]
