		The built in flicker fixer only saves me space on the video
buss, not on Zorro space and the Bridgeboard is still a viable card
for the 3000, it's certainly not built in!

	Well, let's see, today I have a HD interface, a serial/parallel
interface, a modem, a memory board and a bridgeboard. Two of those would
go away in a 3000 (the HD interface and the memory board). I also have a
network card (not installed... Today) and a multiport serial card (also
not installed... Today) That brings me back to five slots filled on a
3000 that only has four slots... But I suppose it means I would only have
a couple of different systems to work with, instead of four or five. :-(
	Note that although I said that I wouldn't need to put the memory
board in the 3000, I can see where not too far down the road, a memory
board would be nice... After all, if we can outgrow 512K and 2M, we can
outgrow 18M... Right now, when I have the bridge installed, leaving me with
only 7M, I *do* run low once in a while... Then I just pull the bridge
and go to 9M... But I've found that my usage grows to fit the available
space.
