	No scalable outline? Compugraphic told me that Commodore
had licensed their font technology. This has been repeated to me
by someone of SoftLogic. Is this suddenly changed?
	Also, I hope that that improved speech isn't what is
included in the current A3000s because my computer still sounds
like a robot (for male speech) and a robot with someone crushing
his balls (for female speech)!!!
