- Rob --- Don't waste any time or any money on the EX or an HX for that matter.
- It's just not worth it. Go in to any Radio Shack and spend less for a 286 for the
- kids to bang on then the money to pump blood on something Tandy did not originally
- manufacture. They are dead and have no life unless you have a lot of software
- and a somewhat worthwhile printer. Better yet go in and get a Sensation because thats
- what everybody is creaming over.
