It is quite fast using a 30Meg hard drive, and there is plenty of elbow room with 512k. I do quite a bit of C programming on it, FORTRAN is available from Microware as I understand it, the graphics capabilities are quite good on it, I am running a great terminal program on one right now that emulates ANSI, VT100, TTY, and OS9 (using standard OS9 display codes), and its PD, called OSTerm. There is a bunch of really great PD stuff available on DELPHI, a national information system that has users' groups for many different kinds of computers, along with a lot of other stuff. But what I'm really interested in is how YOU Joseph, are running 1 to 2 Meg. Are you using one of the new Disto upgrades (which I thought weren't quite on the market yet), or what? ---- Ken Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with Delphi, General Videotex, or Microware.

Sorry, that subject on that last message should have been Coco, OS9, and
stuff, not ~cs122/blah blah. I just don't know what happened. 8-{
