I've just read the A2000 preview in the March issue of Byte.  In a word,
awesome!!  Here are a few interesting tidbits:


	+ Keyboard bug has been fixed.  You know, that nasty one where you
	  hit 3 letters and a different one comes out...

	- According to the article (written in Dec) the A1000 will be 
	   discontinued after the A2000 goes into full production...

	- Somebody in a non-A2000 article said that the beta of PROWRITE
	  (that text and graphics WP) is locked into using interlace!!
	  Why would someone do that?????

	And the biggest plus of all:

	+  The artcle states that after work is complete on the AT card,
	  the CBM engineers are turning there efforts to a 68020 card to
	  fit into the CPU slot. 
	
	I know, big deal, another 68020 card!  Well, this one is reputed to
have a custom MMU on it, in order for the Amiga 2000 to run :
		
		UNIX 5.2 (System V version 2)


I told you the article was awesome!!!

(This is no dream, I read this!!!!)
