I would agree with the save and buy a Pismo idea. The only reason I can see for buying a WallStreet now is because you have an immediate need and don't have the cash, :-) or because you need the legacy ports--ADB, SCSI, serial--but if you are going to be installing X, then this reason is kind of moot, isn't it? Save the pennies for a Pismo. That's what I would do, er, did, in fact. :-) I was very tempted to get my wife a Wallstreet or even a Pismo, but in the end, reason prevailed, and she has a beautiful Pismo sitting on her desk, and has been ecstatic ever since. :-) -- -Jon Glass Krakow, Poland <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "[T]he law . . . dictated by God Himself is, of course, superior in obligation to any other.
