It was for me. >If the answer is yes,then why? There are lots of reasons. I've not really had any problems with my system. I run under WB1.3 (because it's important to me to ba able to use Manx C 3.6a). My old 2000 system was sometimes flaky, slow, etc. I like to be able to autoboot off the hard drive. I wish it had more drive bays, but building an external case is no problem. I like not having any cards in it (if I had a 2000, I'd have needed to get a memory expansion board, upgrade the SCSI card, get autobooting chips, get a new Agnus... My goal is to be able to run UNIX on the system (once Commodore FINALLY releases it seperately from the hardware), so I need lots of memory and a 030/020 board. It was really no problem upgrading the system. >If the answer is no,then how come so many people are rushing out to buy it? Sean -- From the desk of Sean Reifschneider. Isn't Amiga UUCP great?
