Yep, I donated my two Cats to VCF- after trying to use them for a few months. Totally insane UI (and I hesitate to call it an _interface_). It's a good description to just call it a 'word processing computer that can't print (supports just like 3 specific models) and has bizarre keyboard chords to do anything.' The article does a good job explaining the backstory but you can't comprehend how impossible the Cat is to actually use unless you sit down and try to do something a 5th grader can do on a Mac- like type and print a simple note. Also forget about networking. Maybe VCF will get that Cat out on display at the museum at some point so visitors could see for themselves! -andy
