Commodore isn't that slow. From the time CDTV was announced and til it showed up for sale, I think it's a vast improvement from back in the early days of the A1000. Besides, I'm saw a beta (?) of the A500 model in Amazing Computing, and it looks like they're working hard at putting them on the shelfs as fast as they can. The things is, Amiga technology is so awesome, we should give Commodore a break, and let them perfect their products. I'm sure they don't need their customers hanging over their backs, pressuring them to release garbage. That's happened to them too many times already, as I see it. -Simon -- * Simon Lee * Love SGI/VGX Systems. * * sulee@ucsd.edu * Amigas are for fun! * * simon@ivem1.ucsd.edu * Macs and IBM's are for ...? * *************************************************************************
