I haven't been following this mailing list that closely.
Has anyone  expressed an opinion of the QX-10?
Does any one own one?  I would like to get some answers to 
the following:

1. PRICE?
2. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES (IE. PROBLEMS)
3. HOW GOOD IS THEIR SERVICE?
4. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO DELIVER ONE?
5.  HOW GOOD (OR BAD) IS EPSON'S DOCUMENTATION?
6.  WHAT DISK FORMAT DO THEY USE?  WHAT DISK DRIVES?
7. OPTIONS AND THEIR PRICES?
8. HOW MUCH SOFTWARE IS AVAILABLE FOR IT?
9. DISPLAY:   IS IT FLICKER FREE?
   HOW GOOD ARE THE GRAPHICS?
   CAN THE FONTS BE PROGRAMMED BY THE USER?
10. OPTION SLOTS:  ARE THEY S100?
11. WHAT IS YOUR OPINION OF THE "CLOCK/CALENDAR" ?
    CAN YOU SET IT TO TRANSMIT MAIL LATE AT NIGHT VIA MODEM? 
    IS IS DIFFICULT OR EXPENSIVE TO GET THAT CAPABILITY?


Any info you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
     Thanks ahead of time,
         Tom
