One good reason is that the > "engine" you are talking of is 5 years behind the rest of the world. Not that bad. The hardware was 4-5 years *ahead* of the rest of the world when it came out, so the 1000 is only 1-2 years behind the times. My 3000 is still 3-4 years ahead... And of course, the software on release was on a par with what IBM and Apple are promising for 1993 and will probably have out in 1995. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' . 'U` "Have you hugged your wolf today?"
