There is always a lot happening in the Amiga world. If things are not actually
happening, they are just about to, or scheduled to, or have been previewed or
rumored or whatever.

A 3000UX is just a handy bundle of Amiga bits and some software, so if you want
a 3000, and you want Unix, you may as well buy now as later. Of course your
mileage may vary, if CBM happens to market the Unix separately at a
ridiculously high price, or if they only offer the bundle, but I don't think
that will happen.
