For informational purposes only: Carlisle Computer (959 Hill Rd., Las Cruces, NM 88005) sells the LAPC-1 for $425 (plus shipping, I'd imagine). (Source for this info: _Computer_Shopper_, December 1990, page 385.) I don't think the Ensoniq runs for anywhere near $425--not to mention that GS owners don't have to buy it since it's built in (but we all knew that!). Does everybody need an LAPC-1 built-in? At $425 a pop, I'd hope not. (BTW, I thought I'd reply to Mark Orr's comment about the "CGA-level" graphics of the GS...since when did CGA let you pick from 4096 colors?) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Alfter _/_ / v \ Apple II: Internet: alfter@uns-helios.nevada.edu ( ( the power to be your best!
