A co-worker of mine brought his brand spanking new ZF-171 by the other day, and we performed an informal software test (I have *lots* of PC software - even use one or two programs (:-)) and found only one program that failed: PC/Intercom by Mark of the Unicorn. The reason is interesting -- it seems that many of the first units (ZF-171's) shipped had an incorrect keyboard ROM that some programs like to complain about. Zenith has promised to send the corrected ROM that will supposedly cure this compatibility problem (but you have to specifically ask for it). All in all, it seems to be a solid machine. In fact, it turned my head enough that I may get one, too! BTW, have you actually used Turbo Lightning? If so, what's your opinion of it? Thanks...Keith
