Subj: M100 SPEEDUP

Is anybody serious about considering some means of speeding up the processing
of the M100? At times I find it intolerable to use the <SHIFT> <DOWN> or
<SHIFT> <UP> keys while Word Processing only to find I've held the button down
too long and I overshot my target text portion by 3 or 4 screens. All this, of
course, adds insult to the injury of slow movement from screen to screen in the
first place. I almost resort to the simple <UP> or <DOWN> keys to retain
control over the run amok cursor. This is just one possible benefit of a
speedier CPU. There must be someone among the wizbang hackers and programmers
who frequent this BBS that could devote some energy to this worthwhile concern.
I imagine many M100 users would be willing to pay some cash to have such a
modification. Why, perhaps our beloved Club 100
 mentor, Richard, could even market such an upgrade through his network
(assuming he buys the idea)! Thanks for the steam venting! -Tom-
