Well, that's not our fault now, is it? Sounds like a problem with
the magazine.

We weren't the ones who announced the 3000, Irving Gould did that
for us at CeBit. Anybody who could have been swayed to wait for the
3000 would have done so anyways upon hearing Mr. Gould's remarks. 
As for your peripherals, I have been informed that indeed the 3000
WILL support the current Zorro II A2000 cards. So why would anyone
refrain from buying cards now?

Isn't e-mail enough for you, Rick? Or did you just learn how to
spell your own affliction?
