I have just put down 150$ for an MM1, so I've commited myself. I still
have some questions though. Paul Ward said there was a hardware limitation
to the graphics co-processor that prevented 256 colors at the high end of
the scale( that is, 720x480, etc.). Can this be gotten around? 16 colors is
not very good, although much better than the COCO and the AMIGA. What about
the trouble with group permissions? Will Microware ever fix that? Does 2.4
support modules directories? Is OSK being kept up with OS-9000? Will the MM1
come with Source Level Debugger( SrcDbg)? Any of the other debuggers? Any
news about the coming ANSI C compilier or X-windows for the MM1? What
communications programs will come with it? 

Thanks All!
