I should probably be mailing this, but, oh well...
Of course, Bela, Jazzbench was meant as a serious, and yet not so serious
joke.  When at least 15 messages are posted about a simple task like
deleting a file, one begins to wonder at the "ease-of-use" issue.

This is, I hope, the whole point to Jazzbench.

Jazzbench has bugs:  yeah, sure does, that's why it's alpha.. :(
Jazzbench is cool:   yeah, sure is, that's why I don't use workbench
			anymore at all.

My A500 is *still* dead.  It was alive for about 5 days.  Yes, that's all,
five days.  An 8520 died in my computer.  And now something is wrong with my 
hard drive controller.  A-Max is cool, though... ;(
IE:  I won't be doing any work on Jazzbench until I get a working computer.
	And that, I think, is all anyone could ask for, eh?  Not
	asking for miracles -- a 68040 or anything like that, just a
	bloody computer system that works.. sigh... :(

If *anyone* knows of a fast DMA hard drive controller that I could stick in
my ancient Expansion Technologies 500 [ie. Zorro I slots] I'd sure appreciate
some e-mail... thanks!

I'll be connecting it to a 70 meg. Rodime drive [SCSI].  
Pointers appreciated!
