Hmmm, that's funny.  When I called them the other day about it, they were quite 
nice, and said that the best thing for me to do would be to write a letter to 
their public relations department.

I don't expect a Prodigy port anytime soon, and if there is, I probably won't 
get it unless it's about 15 times faster than the IBM or Mac versions.
