	   I THINK you are better off with the 3000, not the 3000UX.
   The Amiga OS doesn't have virtual memory, but RAM is cheap and if
   you put in 9MB you will probably never run out. And yes, it has a
   nicer interface and the interface is much faster (although number
   crunching is probably the same). Also, Maple has been out under
   AmigaDOS for a while, it is new on Unix.

Memory is cheap, but Mathematica can use more than 9MB of RAM.  Get a
computer with virtual memory.
