I remember the buzz about them before release, made them seem as if you would see what it was before you dig, hardly true but there was some good revues on performance...least at the time..probably as good as a XLT or other high end machine of the era, don't expect too see anything on the screen, as I recall even the size of the object is inaccurate due to differing depths, has some good features as I recall..If the price is right I see no reason not to own one.
