	Ok, when are you going to take your machine over and see how it goes
against his 1200? :) Everyone seems to forget that the 1200 has major, major
advantages for low to mid end users like portability, AGA compatibility and
price. How much did your system cost you? When I was using my 1200, I needed
to constantly take it between work and home. I can't even imagine moving your
system without half a day's work. Also, you seem to forget the aim of the
thread and the questions of the original poster. For HIM, a 1200 was a MUCH,
MUCH BETTER machine than your 2000. Stop bickering fellas. 

	Cya,
