In their (pre?)announcements section, they mentioned that Jack Strange of Commodore International Ltd (I believe) had said that Commodore would announce in September a couple of new systems to compete with the high-end Macs and low-end Suns. These systems would run the multi-tasking Amiga-OS, Amiga-DOS, MS-DOS, a version of Unix SVR3, and proprietary interfaces. Unix World called these the Amiga A2500 and A3000! Is Commodore at it again, or what? ^-^ (@v@) David Masterson \_/ DMasterson@cup.portal.com =^=^=
