Gee, I thought *I* was the one causing all these computers to become 
obsolete!  I had the same experiences with the Atari computers, and also
with the ill-fated PCJr.  Hopefully the expandibility I paid extra for in
the 2000HD will keep me at least *fairly* current, assuming I buy a 680X0
expansion card for it..... 

On an unrelated note - don't make the mistake of confusing the Intel I860
with the Intel 80X86 line.  The 860 is a real screamer, but probably not 
a candidate for a personal computer anytime soon because of cost.  An 860
based graphics board for Amy would be an interesting project...
