	Hi all.  I am considering buying a new Amiga.  I had
	a 500 two years ago and had to sell it.  Now I can
	afford an Amiga again :-)

	1) What's the scoop on the 3000?  What is it, when
	   is it coming out, is it worth waiting for?

	2) Same questions, only about the ECS.

	3) Is there yet a terminal emulator that does VT200/300
	   level graphics (like Handshake, only for higher level
	   terminals).  I do mean a *complete* emulation (like	
	   Hanshake) not like Diga, or other cheezy half-vt100s.

	4) Is there a News package/program for it?

	5) Is there a Unix for it?  While we're on the subject,
	   what is Amix, and who makes it/when/where/howmuch?

	6) What are the "best" brands of 3rd party memory, and
	   hard disks/controllers?  

	If people want to reply by email, I will SUMMARIZe and
	post to the net (i.e. I won't post an append file of
	all mail messages ;-)

	Thanks!

	Ehud
