George Robbins provided some valuable followup information about the 2000,
and also made me realize that my comments, based on rumours from the show,
were pretty negative. For the record, I've heard good things too. The
fact that it comes with 1 meg of memory, and with expansion slots, will
make a tremendous difference. The add on cards are pretty cool, too...I
think that an Amiga 2000 with a 68020 running Unix will be pretty hot in
the workstation market; should really put a cramp in the sales of $10,000
machines...especially if you can add on an extra video board supporting
1024 x 1024 screens. Even at $5000 system cost (my own personal guess for
this configuration), that's a pretty cost effective machine. Look out Sun
and Apollo? (and whither Apple? [pun not intended])
