I was afraid of that. I saw the windoze logo on the box but didn't look
closely enough. I've seen a ton of those that said "compatible", which
really meant, roughly speaking, "made for the intel architecture". Since
the article I read said the 860 worked with other OS's I never got close
enough to see that the windoze logo didn't say compatible, but "designed
for".[sob] Thank goodness I can take it back.
So how about the HP 6L. I've heard that it will work quite handily by
emulating a 4L. Does anyone know what features of the 6L I'll be losing
by having it emulate a 4L ?
Thanks,
