To add my $.02 to this thread:

Steven, you may be right about prices coming down Sun workstations
but I won't be buying a Sun for my home.  And even for businesses,
what is the TOTAL cost of buying onw of those other machines you
were talking about when you include the hardware, the software, 
training, and maintenance vs buying an Amiga?  And I read somewhere
in a magazine that 'probably' the next major model to come out will
have it's graphics based on a commercial graphics processor like the
TI model instead of the current custom chips.  So if the next Amiga
includes at least an '020, space for 16Meg of 32bit memory, SCSI,
and something along the lines of the TI graphics chip, would you be
happy with the performance?(oh yes, lets say 14+ MHz for an NTSC
compatible speed).  I bet the price would be competitive since that
has been a historical fact with the Amiga models.
