I have a 55sx on my desk here at work, and I am very dismayed by the SLOW response of the hard disk. It makes Windows a real drag to work with. Don't think I'm spoiled by a faster machine at home, either. My home machine is a cheap 286 clone with a (supposedly) slow hard disk and a clone VGA card. There is no competition for the title of Preferred Machine: I'd rather work at home. Marty -- Marty Zimmerman Computer Services University of Idaho or
