In regards to the recent flame on Zip Tech, I agree, they do have a service
problem but so far I have not had any problem with my Zip chip 4Mhz.  Sure,
it took 2 months but it was well worth the wait.  I am satisfied except now I
wish I had a 8Mhz chip but I can live with the system I have now.:^)

Now for the good stuff!  Does anyone know of a good (fast, cheap, maybe PD)
BASIC compiler for prodos.  I have one for 3.3 but that just won't do the
trick.  Basic is getting to slow.

Also, a friend of mine is a technical arts major and does some great!! graphics
on his Atari ST and I think it would be excellent if we could change them to
GIFS and print them on my color printer.  So I am searching for a program to
convert ST pictures to GIFS.  If I can get a program to do this...I'll upload
a few.

I have been convinced by the discussion on keyboards to try Dvorak so if my
typing in a few weeks is terrible, you'll know why.
