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?? -- fzsitvay@techbook.COM - but don't quote me on that.... 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.

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!

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....
