Language Lab Lines: 15 The AmiDOS 2.0 issue is not so bad as the A3000 can be booted up on 1.3 as well. This solves a lot of incompatibility problems in the short run. It does leave you with some programs which cannot be run on a 68030; quite a few games fall in this category. I've been looking over the A2500 .vs. A3000 issue and have decided that protecting my current "software investment" does matter to me. As such I am considering the A2500 because it can be booted with either 68000 or 68030 (but only one AmiDOS, I think). MS Word is not available for Amiga.
