No way. I have made (and continue to make) good use of it. I have the 040 upgrade on order, because it's a bargain for speeding up the CPU threefold. I'm not even a quarter of the way up to the memory capacity, my hard disk size is comfortable. I've used this machine for a year and a half, and it will probably last me another couple of years, at least, with the upgrade options available now. The only thing I wish for is a faster and more reliable OD drive. If you are looking for long term investments, stay away from computer hardware: it depreciates too quickly. If you are looking for the state of the art, stay away from computer hardware: it is outdated (not to be confused with "obsolete") by the time it rolls off the assembly line. No matter what you get, there is something better and cheaper just around the corner. Live for now, for you'll be shopping again tomorrow. Jacob -- Jacob Gore Jacob@Gore.Com boulder!gore!jacob
