Okay, you've warranted a correction. You're an idiot for liking a next, a snob for buying one. Come on, it's not really all that expensive. As has been said before, if all you want is the 68040, don't get the 25mhz 3000, and save yourself a small bundle. Because with the 68040 in, they will be identical. And it's not too much for Ethernet... Besides, the price of the NeXT has dropped over time. These peripherals on the amiga are still rather new. Give us time, and we'll blow your butt off the face of the earth more than we already do... Prices just need to drop, and once PP starts announcing, they won't stop. > and Entertainment is by far the biggest section. What else should I > look at on the Amiga besides the Killing Game Show? Maybe a studio apartment with rubber walls? Come on, you know there is decent software for the Amiga, just nothing with the "name" of Ashton-Tate or Lotus on it. DBMan V is great, and unlike the next dumb idea, weve got more softs available. -- - gblock@csd4.csd.uwm.edu - | IBM's brain is on overload, and Apple Gregory Block | needs to be potty-trained.
