I'd say given his track record he probably has guessed right though it will be a few years before we know if his QL will sell proportionally as well as his ZX80/81 machines. After all what works for over the counter junk may not work for professional workstations. He's developed a flat screen CRT in recent years. I'd be surprised if it doesn't turn up in a later version of the QL (maybe a QLP) as part of a portable version. -- Gary Wasserman ...harpo!inmet!grw ...hplabs!sri-unix!cca!ima!inmet!grw ...yale-comix!ima!inmet!grw ----------
