	      I  am  just fishing to see if anyone else with a Tandy 2000
	has  been  experiencing  problems with disk errors when the disks
	are  nearly  full.  I  have this problem when either of my drives
	contain  more  than  about  640K  of data. I have had both drives
	replaced  but the problem persists. Is this a problem anyone else
	has  experienced  with these high density drives? Or, is it a bug
	in the device driver for the drives (anyone at Microsoft or Tandy
	know?) 
	
	      I  would  also  welcome any questions by anyone considering
	buying  one  of  these  machines.  My  general impressions of the
	machine  are so far very good. The price is great and the machine
	is  much  much  faster  than  an  IBM-PC.  It will run any MS-DOS
	program  that  does  not directly address the PC hardware. It has
	some  pretty  snazzy  hardware  of  its  own especially the video
	controlling  chips.  You  can scroll any window in any direction.
	You can do smooth scrolls and you can redefine the character sets
	without adding  a  new ROM. All this and graphics on a monochrome
	monitor.
