Should they be > forced to buy added power they don't really need? My thinking is that if someone doesn't upgrade at least the ROMs/Drive, they do so for the following reasons :- 1) Lack of money; 2) Lack of brains; 3) shortage of upgrades; 4) no need, just a casual user; or 5) some other strange reason. Now people that fit into box 1) don't have the money to buy the upgrade, so they have little money to spend on software. These are a major body of software pirates, since they lack the money to buy software, they copy what they need. The shortage of upgrades is a valid point - implies that people are falling over each other to get upgrades. People in box 4) need very little software, so that a 128K ROM ONLY position can be supported. Anything else? Jason Haines BTW, Happy New Year
