au contraire – haven't found one program that fails on my Progressive Peripherals 040. anything which runs OK on an 030 sure ought to work fine on an 040, just faster! also no problem using the Progressive 040 in a 3000/16 – it does take over, though. the only thing the 882 is good for once you're in 040 land is for transcendental math functions like sin and cosine, etc. logs, etc. the 040 absolutely blazes on typical math stuff, though much much faster than an 882. i have two customers who bought A3000/16/50's and theyre pleased as punch, having bought them for under $1900 on the power up.
