I like my xps. I do not make grocery lists on it I edit news video with it... for video editing faster is better and what I really want is not yet fast enough!
speaking of video and keyboards and computers... I need an AMIGA keyboard to go with the Amiga with video toaster one of our cable TV friends contributed for a display here... the enigma now is which display to put it in? computers or video production and television? Think I will put it in video production as what makes it unique is the video toaster card...

Computer Software Boyle's Law: extraneous actions, features, ads, etc. will expand to fill all available space and speed resources. For example: Operating system distribution requires a double layer DVD, instead of a single sided 5.25" floppy. When you want to type a shopping list, is it quicker on the new machine? (How long from power cycle on the amazingly fast Dell XPS before Office gives you a blank document screen?) Does a shopping list need to have PICTURES of eggs? 10 years ago, at the college, a memo announcing a room or time change for a meeting was done on Word, printed in color, scanned, and attached to an email. (I'm not sure WHY, but how else to get a horizontal rule that was offset by a couple of pixels from one end to the other?) I wonder whether they have now switched from the same half dozen words now being done with video and sound? -- Grumpy Ol' Fred ci...@xenosoft.com
