The A2000 is exciting and all that, but I've got several friends that love the Amiga, but it's a bit out of their budget. Is it really going to cost only $300? I assume the A500 is a "real" Amiga, that is it has the full hardware of the 1000? What limitations are imposed on expansion (something has to give to get the price down)? I realize that it won't be on the market for a while yet, but with some solid info I might be able to head off a couple of ST purchases. :-) -- Blaine Gardner @ Evans & Sutherland UUCP Address: {ihnp4,decvax}!decwrl!esunix!blgardne Alternate: {ihnp4,seismo}!utah-cs!utah-gr!uplherc!esunix!blgardne
