Hey you... :) DON'T get on me about Hawaii, or England, or New Mexico, or any other place I have been. Some are born to greatness, some have greatness thrust upon them. I had it (involuntarily) thrust upon me. I did not ASK for this, I did not really WANT it at the time. But once it DID happen, I knew why I was put on this oddball planet. I love what I do for a living. And despite what looks like a VERY GLAMOROUS career, I work damn hard at what I do. That is why I am considered one of the best in the country at it. (Kinda like Rick and the Model 100.) :) So I won't go away. I will stay here. Sure, I could go drop penny ante change and buy a pentium, call me crazy for not doing it. I *like* my Model 100. And all the other orphan computers I have. (PX-8, Kaypro 4/84, NEC Starlet, Epson HX-20, Timex Sinclair ZX-81, Epson HX-20, etc.) Yes, I *do* have all of those and more. And I like them. Pentiums are overkill. If, for whatever reason, you get bored one day with your Model T, you might consider going to the library and picking up a book called, "Soon Will Come The Light." This is a good book. It won a national award for literary excellence in 1994. I know it is a good book because I read it. I also wrote it. :) If you want a review, you might ask Rick for one. I think he has a copy that was signed and given to him by the author. stc
