   I disagree with Mr. Moore's analysis of Mr. Applegates complaints
concerning compatibility.  Radio Crap could, if they had any integrity,
offer upgrades to earlier, flawed, versions of the 1000.  Moore's analogy
doesn't reflect the problem at hand; Radio Crap produced new versions of
the machine with bug fixes, not enhancements.  They could have offered
these same fixes to owners of existing machines, but they would rather
you tossed out your old machine and purchased another - they make more
money that way.

   As i understand it, Mr. Applegate's main complaint is the lack of support
for those people who have placed their trust in Radio Crap.  And in that
i have to agree with him.  They should post a sign at the front of each
store which says "either we don't know what we're doing, or we don't care;
caveat emptor".

P.S.  I owned a Model III and now own a model 3000.
