To the Z-150 person requesting upgrade info:

The simplest way to gain performance which is light-years (sad miss-use of
terms) ahead of the Z-150 and or any of the I(nferior) B(ut) M(arketable)
junk or clones thereof is to invest in a Zenith Z-100/120 Profession Desktop
Computer System.

Please refer to the message from GERN of 25 March 1988 regarding IBM and
compatible material polluting this professional email interest group.
I am absolute agreement with his statements regarding these vile non Z-100
compatible cluges.  I shall, for the amusement of all true Z-100/Z-120 people,
provide the definitions of the letters commonly rambled from the lips of
users of weird, non Z-100 compatible computers.

IBM -- Inferior But Marketable
PC --  Preposterous Contrivance
PC/XT -- Preposterous Contrivance with eXtra Trash
PC AT -- Preposterous Contrivance with Antiquated Technology (my Bearcat
          Scanner, purchased in 1979, has nonvolatile memory for its channels
          so why did Charlie Chaplin not use similar parts; easy -- he wants
          you to buy his EXPENSIVE BATTERIES!!!)

PS/2 -- Preposterous System, Second Try -- These are truly amusing machines.
It is said that they have some highly advanced Micro Channel Architecture
which no one had better duplicate without first selling their first born
son to BIG (Blue) BROTHER.  Well, Ladies and Gentlemen, the MCA as Big Brother
calls it, is a shuffling and renaming of the S-100 bus used in IMSAI and
Altair computers in the 1970s!!!!!  IBM has 'patented' a plagerism of the
IEEE 696 bus standard.  This is plagerism as surely as it is plagerism in
the instance of the grammer school student copying an encyclopedia article
and calling his own original work!!!


Cheers,
