Only at a rather poor studio.  Anyway, that's a topic for another group.

Just for the record, we've a Compaq Presario with a Mitsumi 4X CD-ROM and it
installed wonderfully.  Two things that people say don't do (Compaq and 
Mitsumi), yet it's a stable system.  Perhaps we're just lucky.

The only reason I'd avoid Zeos (other than price) is they refuse to use
anything but Diamond video.  Even if I have to install a MS-Windows box,
I won't use Diamond.

PB is just simply crap.  Acer has a funny bios that scares me.  Perhaps,
it's ok, but I'm not gonna risk it.
