Cash, and the wife are the two major reasons against getting one. It
was an act of God practically to get her to agree on a 1200… (And
if Quicken won't run under PC-Task I'm had!) I would love nothing
more than to get one however… (I always seem to be one step behind
the power curve on these things!)
Anyway… I'm hoping and praying that CD32 gets the support it
deserves both from CDore and 3rd party vendors…. Hopefully it will
be enough, the question is, does Commodore pull out if they post a
successful entry to the home entertainment field.
Speaking of shortages… Tri-State SUPPOSEDLY has the A1200 in, and
mine should be arriving with in 4-5 business days. (He promised!
<g>) Now, finding a 2.5 hard drive at a reasonable price is like
pulling teeth. MidWest Micro Seagate 127's for 215…. but Seagate
has suspended shipments to attempt to drive up the price of notebook
HD's. (at least that's what one source tells me, or did the Hard
drive platter factory next to the microchip plant burn down as well?)
I don't think I'll survive another day without a HD…. I've done it
for too long, and am finally beginning to feel it!
