[Much flamage from Joe Applegate over supposed incompatibilities with 
 the T1000 series, ably refuted by Andy Ross]

This is entirely aside from the fact that the T3000/4000/5000 series are about
as interchangeable with other machines in their class as any other good
PClone.  The T1000 series was intended for homes, *small* businesses and
schools where the comparatively lower price and the minor peculiarities (which
ARE there for good reasons) would make them fit that niche well.  Tandy tends
to engineer machines for specific niche markets, rather than trying to force
ONE design into ALL markets.  If you have problems with the design of the 1000
series, go take a look at the 3000's or 4000's.  Or quit complaining.
