I am certain that you can put your rumor out of it's misery... While the Toaster and other products find a home in the A2000 (and not the A3000) it is an essential part of the Amiga family. Its main advantage is the greatly increased expandability over the A500, and many users have elected to drop the extra bucks for that. Eventually, of course, the A2000 will probably go the way of the A1000, but my prediction is that it won't happen until it's cheaper to produce a better machine (i.e. what happened to the A1000 when the A500 came out). That's going to be a good while in the case of the 2000. -- Greg-Harp----------greg%pfloyd@cirr.com----------convex!egsner!pfloyd!greg "I was there to match my intellect on national TV, against a plumber and an architect, both with a PhD." -- "I Lost on Jeopardy," Weird Al Yankovic
