Unix won't be on all Amigas, just high-end Amigas as an option. Basically, people who buy UNIX want UNIX and know how to deal with UNIX. I suspect that Commodore's support for Amiga UNIX will be geared toward the professional's tech problems, not like the A500C beginner's line. If you're interested in UNIX and are a beginner, keep doing whatever you're doing to read news and you'll get better. ;^} Seriously, though, dealer support may be a problem. Many, not all, Amiga dealers are home computer dealers who want nothing to do with UNIX and don't have the capital to do it. Of the six or eight Amiga stores in San Diego, I know three will support UNIX, two won't, and I don't know the rest. I think it will work best that way--high end and low end dealers, just like the PC dealers. Thom
