Although I occasionally think about selling my Star Diamond, but I am happy with
it.  The controls and features are very simliar to the Star Diamond II - but i
estimate the processor to be about 3x of the Star Diamond II.  The program is
also by Kittenger but there are enough differences in style of play to give it a
different feel.  I agree with Frank's assesment about agressive style of play
that makes it interesting for humans.

The quality in workmanship is very high as most Novag units are.  One Pet peeve
- the screw that holds the battery lid - solution : just remove the screw.  It
still stays in place
