My first disclaimer is that I am not a Geneve owner/user.  But I am a TI
99/4a owner/user.  I have not purchased a Geneve because (1) I'm cheap,
(2) I'm house poor anyway (that translates to having slightly better
things to do with $500, (3) I don't have any significant TI applications
that need to run faster, and last but not least (4) I am not really
impressed with the apparent price/feature benefit as compared with an
apparently similar feature machine compatible with that "three-letter"
company we're all familiar with.

My bottom line is that if the Geneve was in the $200-$300 price range,
I'd have gone for it, until then I'll just stick with my 4A.  When I get
$500, I'll probably get an XT clone.

Now, if you think I'm all wet, then convince me. I'm willing to listen.

Later,
