There is a lot of software out there to run on these things. I can actually order it today and receive it. I challange Henry to find a piece of equipment on the market today which will not be obsolete in 5 years. The equipment must be available to me today, and not in kit form. In short, it must be a complete system that I can order and run as soon as I power it on. Perhaps one should wait a year to get the 16032, or maybe two years to get something better, or maybe three years to get even better, or maybe four years to get the best, or maybe five years to get even better... What am I supposed to use in the meantime? Maybe I could order some 8088s then in a few years time buy something else. -- Derek Andrew, ACS, U of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon Saskatchewan, Canada, S7N 0W0 {ihnp4 | utah-cs | utcsrgv | alberta}!sask!derek 306-343-2638 0900-1630 CST
