I'm sorry if this is a FAQ,  but I need a definitive answer from anyone
who knows from first hand experience:

Does the Toaster work with the 3000?  Specifically,  I'm considering getting
in (by a hair's breadth) on the Power-up deal,  and purchasing the 16Mhz
3000.  When I called NewTek (admitedly a biased source) and asked
whether the Toaster could be made compatible with 16mhz 3000,  they said, 

(Quote) 
"No it is not.  And we have not announced a date for the availability
of a 3000-compatible model.  At this point,  we don't know if we will
even do a 3000-compatible model Toaster."  

(??? What on earth is Newtek thinking about ???)

The obfuscation of that statement was immediately clarified when the sales 
rep went on to say,   

"But Newtek is now shipping our own specially equipped 2000 model,  with
a toaster already installed for ~$3900."

So I just said to myself,  "Forget it,  if I can't run the Toaster right
away (~two-four months) on the 3000 I don't need to jump on the Power up
deal."

Now I keep hearing rumors of the 2000 Toaster working on the 3000 just
fine. Please let me know what the real scoop is!

- Thanks,
