Of course we can exploit the lmachines native potential. All it takes for that is for the people who really know the machine very well, most notably those who conceived it, to participate in software development even if only to make their OWN machine better. Well, why don't they?

Under penalty of being qualified by Dexter as a TT "groupie", I must say that, if there were defects in the OS and he was made aware of them, he did fix them. > But since I could not get an eprom version it stayed on the shelf and the BBS moved > back the Supergold card and it is now on QPC. Now this is an interesting point. Surely the OS could also have been supplied to you an disk. It is fairly easy to load that over the existing OS.
