Do you really think that or are you just trying to get some discussion going
in this newsgroup?
   At least the p-System gives you a decent editor and a language for your
money, unlike CP/M.  In these days of revolution in the hardware available,
it is nice to have a *completely* portable operating system.
   I have used CP/M enough to write a bootstrap, and a few other things, and
I am not very impressed.  Somebody's going to say that I should buy a great[sic]
editor like Wordstar.  I have used a couple of these, and again am not impressed
   Everything on the p-System is nice: the assemblers (8080 & Z80 & etc)
the Pascal, the concurrency, the editor.
   If I could get a decent Unix (for my Z80) it would be a different story,
but the current alternatives leave no real choice but the p-System!
