All understandable, but it seems no future plans were made either? Like to have another release or something? I mean there has been some time since the initial inception of the XTR. If thoughts were to possible do a dual proc unit, why not on the 550. Why wait until the LX50 which goes after a slightly different market. I would consider buying a LX50 now. I would not have at the time I first started working with Cobalt's or bought one. > (There was at one > point a dual CPU XTR running in the hardware lab at Cobalt; all that > remained was SMP-izing most of the apps, LCD drivers, etc...)

So that's that. The XTR had potential, that it will never achieve. Now it's the problem that everyone just wants to go away. The rotten apple. -- Sincerely, William L.
