No, I don't brag about computers. I have just arrived at a point to buy
a new computer. My A500 doesn't live up to my needs anymore. Five years
ago, the Amiga was the best buy you could make for under the $10000. Now
I have to make a choice. I can buy an Amiga 3000. But then I don't have
the graphics I want and the price is still too high ($5000+ in Holland) for
what you get. On the other hand I can buy an 486 machine with everything
I want for less than $3500. But that means: no multitasking and start all
over again (software etc). Money isn't the real issue here: I spent more 
than $4000 on my A500 system (that is not a VW). I think there are more
people who have the same questions about buying the A3000 or not.
