- Both the SupraExpress 144 Plus and SupraExpress 288 have been qualified by
- Apple for bundling with Apple Computers and there have been many thousands
- of them shipped with Performa systems in the last 6 months. Although I
- haven't personally examined a Global Village Bronze in a LONG time, based
- on the number of SupraExpress units we've sold with ADB power and given
- Apple's qualification of the product I doubt we have the same problem you
- saw with Global's older Bronze model.
