The Amiga 3000 will, most likely, be a bitter disappointment, and offer few improvements to the actual chipset. I really, really hope Commodore proves me wrong, but I doubt they will. Sigh. I miss the good-old days when the Amiga blew away everything to a $15,000 radius. I guess I'll have to be happy with my home computer. It will always remain a home computer. -MB- P.S. Why doesn't Commodore purchase that small company that markets the Amiga video transputer, and sell it as standard hardware? That would be just what the Amiga needs to propel it back into prominence again. Amiga 3000! That thing has been promised since 1987(or was it 86). Didn't it use to be called the Amiga Ranger in Amiga magazines? I still can't believe that Commodore hasn't at least upgraded the chipset in the Amiga. I think it's pretty safe to assume the Amiga is going to die an ugly death. There are too many idiots running the company!! -Mike
