To correct Carl's slightly inaccurate quote, what Datapro actually said was

    "Pyramid is recognized as Digital's major _minor_ competitor, or in the
     words of one Datapro editor, a nuisance competitor".

(The italic "minor" was Datapro's - not mine).

Still - it must be pretty good to be thought of as a nuisance to Digital,
albeit only a "major minor" one :-)

Now, I wonder if someone is going to make these boards available in this part
of the world.
