But for $3000, your 105 MB drive is filled almost to capacity isn't it? I mean, looking at the list of standard and extended software posted on comp.sys.next, I don't think the $3000, 105 MB machine even comes with any language compiler. And you just can't download something like gcc, because you don't have anything to compile it with. Also, isn't the 340 MB upgrade something like $2000 or more? I'd say that even though Amigas don't have UNIX yet, at least they have room on the disk for some programming languages and utilities. scott> scott hess scott> scott@gac.edu scott> Independant NeXT Developer (Stuart) scott> NeXT Campus Consultant (Not much, really) scott> GAC Undergrad (Horrid.
