I don't think that I'd have jumped into another Amiga years ago unless the upgrade path was as potentially easy as the 2000 made it. Never looked back too...sold the 386 and the Mac Plus (kept the roms though..hee hee) and grew from the 1000 to a 2000 and then added a 2091 with a 40 Meg Quantum and the CBM 030 accellerator card with 4 megs of RAM. I've moved up to a 3000 only because the kind of work I want to do (modelling and DTP) are best suited to that machine. Otherwise, I'd still have that 2000. But what it really COULD use, in the worst way, is a face life. Looks like it was designed by some iron-curtain country..it needs to show how sexy a box it is..
