I own a TX and have had nothing but negative experiences in my dealings with Radio Shack. I haven't found the reliability of my system to be impressive, considering the price. When something goes wrong, I've only twice been lucky enough to encounter a RS employee who knows *anything* about the computer lines. I don't personally know anybody (who knows anything about computers) who would buy a Tandy, or anybody who already has one who would buy another. Had I known in '88 what I know now, I wouldn't have bought one. As many of these beasts Tandy has sold, it seems that somebody likes them. A question to you die-hard Tandy supporters -- Why? What do you see in the product that I don't? Please convince me I haven't wasted $2500 on my system. Shawn Green
