Ron, How can youpossibly disagree with the 'ram delay issue'. It was well documented in the various trade magazines, newspapers, and most importantly of all, in the price lists of distributors, wholesalers, and retailers. It is not a 'subjective' matter at all. It was a shortage of ram, for many reasons, causing what ram was available to become very high priced indeed. (around here, 256K chips went from $4.00 to over $20.00 within just a few months) You make subjective judgements on what constitutes an excessive delay between first working prototype and retail sales for a product, treat those judgements as if they were immutable laws of the universe, then call factual, well documented conditions 'subjective'. I will never figure you out, of that I am certain. -larry
