Tom: Thanks for the P5/90 insight. What is holding me back from getting one right now is the $5000 cost of 128mb RAM. But I remember paying $4500 for the original IBM-PC and 10mb external hard disk. So i guess this isn't so bad compared to what you're getting for the price. By the way what kind of a CD-ROM game are you developing? Is it a Windows or DOS based game? I don't remember if i mentioned it in my last e-mail to you but I'm working on a CD-ROM based software running in 32-bit DOS which uses my compression software. It's a virtual Earth traveler and uses the GeoSphere's image rendered by 3D-Studio. Keep in-touch and good luck with your project. Regards, Reza D.
