Actually, from what I've read, alot has changed in the last 2 years --
significant improvements have been made.

The TrackStar 128E recieved a rather glowing review in the February issue of
the Computer Shopper (p.352).  According to that article, the board's even been
officially endorsed by the National Education Association.

I'd also like to hear from anyone using the 128E, as my father-in-law just put
together (almost literally) a rather nice MeSs-DOS system (nice for DOS, that
is. :-) and would like to be able to run his Apple // software on it.

Anyone using one?

NOTE:  Still no newsgroups on my local BBS. <Heavy sigh!> So this is being
