Ok Dave here's a starter, I was one of the folks that ordered a Futura, possibly it might have been a dead end job considering the hardware that come since but my question is this - Who was Maria Futura ( I may have the name a bit wrong ) she seemed to be in charge of the admin side of things, I thought the name being similar or the same as the computer was a bit funny. all the best - Bill
