(Provided ya a student, and casn get student discounts that is) With it ya'll have enough to play with for a long time. Untill ya start doing more powerfull stuff like 3-d ray tracing, ect... The system would have, 20 meg HD, (Kinda small but can be up'ed by a simple removing the 20, and replacing it with a bigger one) can have up to 2 meg addon, for 3 meg total. (Not bad) Bee 100% CBM, so ya get their support. (They have some now days!) Well if i had the $$$ and could start again, that'd be the system i'd buy,. (If i had LOTS of $$$ i'd get the 3000ux!) -- yorkw@ecn.purdue.edu aka Willis F York aka Squid on IRC The only thing that Apple invented is the idea to borrow Xerox-invented ideas.
