What is wrong with the Quantum Empire 2100S?  I use to have one and
loved it, and I know lots of folks who have them and have had no
problem with them.  Please don't slam the product without stating
a reason it is bad, you hurt some of your fellow hackers when you
do this as next time I go to sell someone an Empire 2100 who has
read your post I have to dispell what was said :-(.  If it has some
facts to it makes it easier for me to counter or confirm :-).
