That's 15 years behind a company that made most of its money selling videogame consoles with keyboards. They considered having the Amiga keyboard optional, and actually fought putting ANY expansion port in the Amiga until Miner came up with a hack that cost less than the magic 50c per unit. Commodore and Atari, neither company was a shining star in the computer firmament. And they ended up suing each other to death, or at least mortally wounding each other in the process. Bastards. I really feel sorry for the people who worked there who couldn't be all they could be because of their management. I feel sorry for some of the people at Microsoft, too, but not too sorry 'cos they still do OK lifestyle-wise. And I'm always amazed when they manage to sneak clue past the sales line. Apple, geeze, their problem is that they manage to do so much right and then snatch suck from the jaws of victory anyway. > > I'm sure you can install Linux on your Lombard. > But I don't want Linux.

Alas, as has been noted, that's a no go. Plus, I've used BeOS. It's got its own fair share of suck. Oh, indeed it does.There's stuff above here
