Now, wait a minute, we as users (and the free fanatical advertisers for CBM) have a great say in the future of the Amiga. After all Apple went through the same rough time introducing their "new" OS and it finally caught on. We ought to be able to do the same. Commodore has two ways to go, either really goose up the desk top video stuff so that the Amiga N000 isn't really useful to hacker types (except for video hackers) or go complete compatability with IBM _and_ MAC. Business types (and me too for that matter) like to be able to use their old hardware and not have much hassle with compatibility issues. Let's face facts Amiga is cheap compared to these other systems, its graphics are quite good, but IBM with proper HW and MAC II are better in some areas. Amigas networking with MAC II's for a good cheap graphic environment would be ideal for some applications. -- ________________________________________ This space would have been | Mike Davis LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK | ihnp4!ihlpm!jmdavis had I not written in it. |_________________________
