- Nothing personal, but if an S suit your means, why spending the extra money?
- I have an S and a PC with a large disk (and an even better machine at my
- work). If I occassionally want to have another program to tun, I remove some
- directory (I've a mirror on my PC) and down load the program I want to run. It
- works fine for me. 32K is enough for me.

- Maybe, you can all agree with me on this one: owning a PC is a necessary
- condition if your planning to buy an S. BTW, an SX cost $125 more than an S
- over here.
