(hope this doesnt get posted twice, I got a "not posted" message the
first time)

I am really interested in the 3000.  I just got a demo of 2.0 and am 
really confused.  There are two questions I have...

1) There is a picture in Antic's Amiga+ (vol2 no3 '90) on p.38 of the
   new 2.0 that looks wonderful.  On p.37 it looks almost as bad as my
   old 500.  I could never achieve the workbench like that of p.38
   (excluding the custom backdrop, I am refering to the placement of 
   the window gadgets and the 3d scroll bars).  All I could get was what
   was like on p.37 (also like in the new TOASTER edition of AWORLD).
	What would be the customization necessary?  Was the photo on p.38
   a beta and the upgrades downgraded in appearance? I tried all resolutions
   including product. non-inter. (all res. flickered like a mad dog - and 
   the 1950 was hooked up to the flicker fixing video output).

2) The cursor seemed to stay at some primitive block resolution no matter
   what I did.  WHy?  Can I set that?


remember, I don't own one yet, so this could be trivial but no one I know
has a 3000 or 2.0, and the only close "dealer" that had one to show me
didn't help much...at all.

Please post or mail me.  I would really appreciate it.

Bye, Doug.
