       Greetings. So do I! But I will strongly disagree with the
       first statement! With a 486 running at 25 MHz I can use
       an emulator for a Z80 and run most (if not all) of my Kaypro
       stuff. Doesn't mean I don't use the K10, either. Even though
       my Kaypro 10 is far from a "portable" it's much better at it
       than the 50+ lb 486 :-) Besides, show me a z80-based machine
       than can raytrace a 640X486X256 complex scene in under 30 minutes 
       :-)

       Take care.      

       P.S. QNOTD (Qute note of the day) Did you know that Norton 
       Utilities (for the IBM PC) actually has the capability to
       create a CP/M partition on a hard drive.... Hmmm..........
