I've had my supersport 286 in the same config (with and extra 1M) for a year with no downtime, thank goodness. It has overheated, which causes memory problems, if used for extended periods of time, especially in warm environments or when set up on a blanket or cushion rather than a well-ventilated desktop. My main two beefs are that the graphics capabilities of all the Zenith Sports are intentionally misrepresented and sold with MSWindows advertising iconography. They claim a display of 640 by 400 pixels but never qualify it by "In Text Mode ONLY!". Sure MSWindows works, but at almost useless 320 by 200. Secondly, they have never offered a pointing device which could plug into the useless aux.keyboard port. -- Jordan Pollack Assistant Professor CIS Dept/OSU Laboratory for AI Research 2036 Neil Ave Email: pollack@cis.ohio-state.edu Columbus, OH 43210 Fax/Phone: (614) 292-4890
