Hi Wirt & Lee :)
    Well... I  did use a desk config'ed series 44 back in school... and no I
never did turn it off by putting my foot on the switch! ... 'tho a certain
member of this august list was there when someone else did :)  (Remember why we
didn't allow Andi near the CPU Rich? hehehe)

    As for Boyd's getting me a desk config for a 3k? nah... I got a nifty brand
new Mac and a 700/94 on my desk and all the coffee I can drink :) ... What more
could I ask for? hehe

    The Series 58 was also available in a cabinet mount (2 meter cabinet as I
recall) and that is what I had at OHSF ... we mounted our DTC's and 798x tape
drive in it and used the bottom half for storage when we went to the 957!

Art "learning how to make the foofoo drinks with coffee now :) hehehe" Bahrs
