The other advantage is the ability to load sounds
from CD as opposed to floppys or other media, as more
information is available on CD format. Many of the

Still, you'd have to pry the 'tron from my cold,
dead hands before I'd consider one of these little
toys. Yet more fixing without previous breakage.
Keep trying...
