The Wow - another Z-171 user! Thanxs for the compatibility info - I have heard that the 171 is HIGHLY compatible, but never HOW compatible. It is quite comforting to know that *lots* of PC software runs ( I assume this to mean a wide spectrum of products that test a machines compatibility one way or another) on it. > BTW, have you actually used Turbo Lightning? If so, what's your > opinion of it? As far as Lightning goes, I have never actually used it. I have read glowing reviews of it in PC Magazine (cover picture too!) and if it is half as good as they say it is, then it really IS a revolution in information retrieval. Once my Z arrives, I intend to use Lightning inside and out - I don't doubt that I will be more than pleased. -- Name: David P.
