You forgot to click your heels together! ;-) Anyway, I would rather Commodore spent it's efforts on the implied 3500 tower box, probably my next machine, than work hard on upgrading the middle of it's product line, and look from there to a box built around a 68040 or 88000, with an AmigaDOS 2.0-clone interface riding on top of a POSIX compliant Unix buried so far down it never sees a user (and vice versa) at all, but is there in all its glory for programmers. I don't see the dying need for a 68020 box; that architecture is already starting to show liver spots. I love my 2000, the 7500 hours I have spent at it over 18 months have been lots of fun, but it is time to move up to today's hardware speeds in a familiar container. IMHO. (Right!)
