No, I'm not looking for a bloody pee-cee waste-of-silicon!!
And judging from the name of this newsgroup, I doubt anyone else here
is.

Look, if you want to sell your computer, and it isn't a cp/m box, then
post it in a for sale group local to your hometown.  Just because we
have a newsgroup about cp/m doesn't mean that we're using cp/m until
we can afford your whizzy clone.  think: maybe we LIKE using these old
beasts??

  No wonder I can't hold a regular sleeping schedule.  My subconcious mind
knows we are only one well-placed bullet from having Quayle as president.

I already bawled him out about it in mail.  Well, not "bawled him
out", but a gentle nudge, and he said that he would take his biz
elsewhere.  Also, be nice!  I share your sentiments about those
clones being a waste of silicon; I know because I _OWN_ one!  And
I didn't have to pay a thing for it!

	Greetings. So do I! But I will strongly disagree with the
	first statement! With a 486 running at 25 MHz I can use
	an emulator for a Z80 and run most (if not all) of my Kaypro
	stuff. Doesn't mean I don't use the K10, either. Even though
	my Kaypro 10 is far from a "portable" it's much better at it
	than the 50+ lb 486 :-)	Besides, show me a z80-based machine
	than can raytrace a 640X486X256 complex scene in under 30 minutes 
	:-)

	Take care.	

	P.S. QNOTD (Qute note of the day) Did you know that Norton 
	Utilities (for the IBM PC) actually has the capability to
	create a CP/M partition on a hard drive.... Hmmm..........
