James, I hate to say this and may be kicked off of the list for it, but the Model 4P is and always will be my favorite computer. Still use mine, because it has the pull out keyboard. I have a bad back and have to have a keyboard in the lap. I made more money doing free-lance writing on the Model 4P than any other computer.
If you pick up last week's Time magazine, you will find a letter-to-the-editor from me. Do you know anyone else who has had 2 LTTE's to Time magazine. They don't exist, unless they are an x-president or Martha Stewart type. I hold the record, guaranteed. Doesn't mean I'll stop. If I get another, I will apply for a Guiness World Booke of records. But, I can't let on to the Time editors what I am up to. My first one was in October or August of 93 and the last one was last week. It was not kind to our president. I think we are in trouble in Iraq.
