I have a source for Turbo Expresses new theres about 20 left, leave
mail if you want info they are selling for list (249.95) which isn't
bad when you consider that some mail order places have started to sell
the limited stock for as much as 385!!!

Well, when I found the source I bought the machine, being a red-blooded 
American and all that.  I have a few questions and a few requests.  Does
everyone have problems reading text or is it me?? A prime example is the 
World Class Baseball (great game BTW) I can't read most of the stats or
even the speed of the last pitch.  Also do people get a slight ghosting
effect from time to time.  Notwithstanding these two questions this is 
an incredible machine.  I have a gameboy, a lynx and now a turbo express.

The gameboy has more games and until the other two I thought it was fun to
play.  You can't go home again boys and girls.  Play GB baseball or Bases 
Loaded and compare it to World Class Baseball and you see what I mean.
I really want to like the lynx but the game selection still doesn't fit
me.  The T.E. has a wide selection of games and the best screen also the
highest price. But it is actually worth it for the gorgeous screen, with 
better specs then the TG-16 itself!!

Anyway I would appreciate mail from TE owners expressing their like/dislike
of the machine.  I would also like mail from TG-16 or TE owners telling
me what are good games are what aren't.  I don't have a TG-16 so I wouldn't
know.  

Thanks,

  Bill
