Sure it beats those cards.  But what about //c owners who want to
run CP/M?  Just tell me where one can get an Applicard-type device
for the //c and I'll be happy knowing that you're a little bit
rational.

BTW, what about those of us who can't currently afford an
Applicard?  What are we to do now?  Are we in the stone ages?  We
might, but if we get the job done, and it may take a bit longer,
who cares?!?!?  You have to realize that a lot of us can't go out
and get an Applicard at the snap of a finger.  Money doesn't grow
on trees, you know.  I personally want an Applicard myself, but I
just can't afford it.  Is there something wrong with that?  If you
think there's something wrong with me because I should be running a
PCPI card instead of a Microsoft one, and I'm able to get stuff
done, only at a slower pace, there's something wrong with your
ability to reason, bud.  SERIOUSLY wrong.
