(Sorry about the long quote above; I can't get rid of it. Nor can I insert any line breaks.) I was only dreaming. And reminiscing how good it was to be able to switch a Commodore 64 off and on to completely reset it, in less time that it took for the monitor to wam up. It seems we totally lost the way somewhere back then, going to operating system loaded from disk. I know the concept probably isn't practical now (although Koppix sounds interesting). I was really hoping someone would respond with some clever and revolutionary ideas somewhat along the same lines. Just a thought though - where do games consoles load their software from? Can it be corrupted/updated? Could a computer system based on the games console concept be developed into a word processor and Internet browser, which is all the majority of home users want? Regarding making perfect software, that's easy. Just make sure that the developers have to take all the calls from irate users at two o'clock in the morning. It sure worked for us! John
