This is a red herring. Yes, it's a damn shame that all systems don't still run in 64K. I'm bummed out that you can't run 2.0 in a 1000... how dare it use all that memory! Why, the 256K in the original 1000 should be enough for anyone! Crap. The fact that it's over $2000 kills it as a home computer. Of course, that also kills your Amiga 3000. Why $2000? That's about the most disposable income you can expect an average middle-class working stiff to come up with, short of taking out a loan. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' .
