My friend bought an Supra 500XP, and had all kinds of GURU's(like someone else with an older Word-Stink), took it back, got another and the HD was winding up and down wierdly...Took it back and they said his computer was fried or had a bad port on it or something... He also had all kinds of errors downloading with his HST modem....He bitched, got the GVP for the same price, except for he didn't get the RAM(but he did get the 50 meg Quantum), and then still had errors downloading though, added 2 megs of ram and his downloading errors disapeared....Needless to say, his Supra experience made him decide to sell his Amiga alltogether...I can live with quirks for awhile, some people can't... I had a Supra 2400ZI internal modem...Had no real hardware problems but thier modem0.device was junk and caused GURU's...I sold that...and decided then that Supra was not a quality company... I think that Phil also has had Supra problems...But I will let him talk about them himself since he's on the net... -- C-UseNet V0.42e Ronald Kushner Life in Hell BBS +1 (313) 939-6666 P.O.
