  I would like to see one of these mythical Archimedes machines.  I know
  plenty of people who have PCs, Macs, STs, Amigas but I have yet to
  meet someone who has one of beasts.  Are they restricted to England?
  Are we going to have a 'my Archimedes can beat your st with half a
  meg tied behind its back' wars?

  BTW:  I got my Publishing Partner Professional update last week and
  eagarly booted it up.  It looked really sharp, I start to work, and
  2 bombs, 3 bombs, 4 bombs, more.  What a disappointment.  They say
  in an enclosed letter that they know of most of the bugs and are 
  working on them.  I guess we will have to wait for the upgrade to
  the upgrade. SIGH...
