Some corrections:
- The MG-1 has a 32016, not a 32032. This doesn't matter that much,
since the 32032 is only about 10% faster.
- We've been running 4.2 now for over 4 months, so it must be out of
beta test by now.
- poor man's sun? *poor* man's sun? *POOR* man's sun??? I wouldn't
swap mine for a room full of suns!!!
(agreed, the sun 3 has better performance than the mg-1, but the
user-interface seems to be just as lousy as that of the sun-2. The
mg-1 interface isn't perfect either, but at least it is *much*
better than what sun gives you).
