Mine is an A1000 with a Ronin 68020; the office Amigas are stock A1000s.

But I do concur NOW with Stephan that HandShake 2.20c has some nasty bugs
which occur precisely as he describes them (above).  I "played" with that
version of HandShake for a bit more than a week and can no longer tolerate
the incessant gurus.

A simple way to stop the problem is:

	CLI> cd comm:
	CLI> delete hand#?

That last line works fine for me; no more Lunches with the Guru!  :-)
