By "doing something" I meant a dedicated hardware-type project like a burgular alarm, not something like a word processor. Although the ZX-8n folks do have their adherants, I largely consider the thing to be an 8-bit doorstop. It's ideal for a hardware project though because if you screw up and blow the thing up you're not out much. The Jupiter Ace is still a cute box for FORTH hackers doing the same kind of project although it sure could use a real keyboard and a disk, though. This is minimalist hackery here, not Word Perfect land ! rcs
