I keep wanting to give you a chance, but you keep talking out your backside.

1) THE MAC CLASSIC DOES NOT NOT NOT come with a hard disk!
The literature says a HD is an OPTION.

2) You want to compare systems, so don't use the cost of a color monitor
   when you build an amiga system to match the MAc plus.
   $500 + $75 + $75 = $650
    A500  A501 MONO
  
  I used a magnavox composite monitor at first with my 500.  It flickers
  CONSIDERABLY less than any color monitor I've seen (in interlaced mode).

But, you're right about a couple of things.  

1) We need a new chipset.  So what.  How many times do you think we should
bring that up???  We know it's being worked on right now.
2) 2.0 should be supported on the 500.  I think it will be, but I have
heard conflicting reports from people who should be good sources.
3) The MAC is the best computer for you.  Buy it, enjoy it.
   Why put yourself through all of this?
