	Archon runs fine under 1.2 - Like I said earlier, removing the memory
board works, but is far too dangerous.  In just two days I have been sent three
programs, offers for several more, Dan Barrett pointed out a program on new-
xanth that will do it, people have offered custom programs, etc.  Thanks a lot,
guys!  (Now all I have to do is try them all out tonight)
(ps to Chris Hames (ins778@vax4.monash.edu.au): Thanks!  (mail bounces))

Sounds good to me.  Actually, the games I could probably forget about, but I
would miss all my nifty demos.  So, I think I'll wait another year, then buy
into 3000 awesomeness after a bunch more new and nifty(er) demos have been
written for it (not to mention software).

I might miss Archon a little, though ;-(.
