(and A2500/30 >owners?) will be able to run Amiga UNIX as well? Technically speaking, certainly. Far as I know, the UNIX folks don't have any special "A3000UX" machine in their offices, and until last summer, they all had A2500/30s there (the A3000 does offer the advantage of easily having more than 4Meg of 32 bit RAM, important for memory hungry UNIX). Whether C= will sell a stand-alone UNIX package, or only offer the A3000UX bundle, is of course purely a marketing decision. -- Dave Haynie Commodore-Amiga (Amiga 3000) "The Crew That Never Rests" {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!daveh PLINK: hazy BIX: hazy Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...........
