Someone has to help the poor users that Tandy is misleading in their efforts to make SALES SALES SALES... with no service or support... I'm glad you are happy and content with your Tandy computers... but of the 50 or so Tandy owners in our User group NOT ONE will ever buy another Tandy! I at least am willing to admit that I made a mistake... Fool me once shame on Tandy... fool me twice, shame on me... Joe Applegate - The Ralph Nader of America's Tandy Users :-)
