I agree. It's stupid. And it's really going to confuse customers, especially the customers of these idiot companies, if Commodore ever decides to come up with a product that'll get a similar knickname, such as an Amiga 1500 or Amiga 5000, which they very well might. Some fool calling their product "Axxxx" isn't going to have one iota of an effect on Commodore naming conventions. -- Dave Haynie Commodore-Amiga (Amiga 3000) "The Crew That Never Rests" {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!daveh PLINK: hazy BIX: hazy "That's me in the corner, that's me in the spotlight" -R.E.M.
