1. I have had my SE for about 3 weeks now, Using it everyday, I have not
experienced any problems of transfering data from my old floppies to the
Internal HD. Losing creators or anything. I have 15meg on the drive. Sounds
like sloppy software and BNDL's not being set right. Or a bad system File on
the SE being used.

2. Of course the new keys won't work with Macterminal, is was never written
to use real escape, control or arrow keys. The new Control panel won't do
anything for this problem. It only affects speed and delays of keyboard repeat
& wait till repeat.

3. Switcher 5.1 must have some bad copies floating around or something, I have
seen several messages on local BBS's that claim that It doesn't work right
with bizarre problems. I have had no problems with my copy of Switcher 5.1.
Some users are blaming system 4.0, but I have been using 4.0 since it appeared
with all software and no problems on a Plus and SE...

4. 3Com software, you'll never know what it will do....
