At least one of the people my friend talked to muttered something very befuddling about an external video connector, or some such nonsense.

What I guessed. I have now talked to someone who has sold this beastie, though not in the US. My dealer called to order a couple, and was told that everyone was off at a sales meeting. I guess that means everyone is gonna get fired again in C= sales and marketing...isn't that what sales meetings are for at Commodore? +. <<<>>> -ken -- Ken Yarnall /// yarnall@usceast.cs.scarolina.EDU Math Department, USC \\\/// yarnall@ucseast.UUCP Columbia, S.C. 29208 \\\/ (803)777-5218 `You'd better tie me up.' -- from the movie, "Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down"
