If I were to modify the existing system in any way it would be to success- fully add a hard disk that was possibly external and provide two (2) internal floppy disks (ala SONY) that were double-sided double-density. Could you also see about adding color? Please keep any further iterations of the system small and clean in design. What we don't need are more big boxes, which admittedly are easy to design hardware additions for but are murder on peripatetic individuals. Also, please find some way to convince the software firms that produce for you that this is a machine for power users too. I would think that ease of use need not be confused with lack of ability in the spreadsheet arena. As you might guess I am delighted that Microsoft is bringing Excel to the market. Lastly, more memory is an issue. Perhaps its addition can either be in unusually large chunks like 2 or 4 megs (so as to avoid the need to add much more in the immediate future) or perhaps open up the rear with a hatch or something that would allow for the insertion of memory cards. -- Eric Geoffrey Vann Analysts International (Chicago Branch) (312) 882-4673 ..!ihnp4!aicchi!egv
