There you have it. The most amazing thing I found about this computer (A3000) is that you CAN download files (Via AutoPilot), and while that is going on, I can pop off and do some financial work, prepare reports on the word processor, browse DISTANT SUNS, or whatever, and I don't need to worry about disk access problems or system lockups, or even slowdowns. This is a perfect example of a bad C= decision. I'm sure the engineers who designed the computer foresaw this problem, but I guess it was deemed an acceptable compromise when put against the savings in cost. There is no excuse for a top-of-the-line computer, let alone a multi-tasking multimedia computer, to be equipped with IDE, especially since SCSI was introduced as standard a couple years ago. Sometimes, I wonder how they come up with these things. —- On AutoPilot — Dave
