All other companies were selling computers or for the price that very few can afford, or they miss the attraction of chip that everybody already know to some extent. I do expect that prices of the Intel will very quickly go down and that new Assembler will have a lot in common with the old one. I am amateur that don't have access to the some rare and expensive IBM computers that other programmers can enjoy right now. Leonid. > >Eugene > >>Leonid.
