At this point _we_ don't know when it will be ready (if we did, we'd tell you), so how can you make a definitive statement about when a machine would be ready? (And didn't you guys get the ST before we here in the US did? mumble, mumble, mumble... ). > - Blitter upgrades late this year Again, this may or may not turn out to be the case. As _soon_ as we have them, we'll get them out the door--and right now, our ability to get them out the door rests with a third party over whom we have no control. > - Date for the MS-DOS emulator...who knows...

And on the other hand, the Amiga's the only machine I know that you can crash by following the boot disc directions exactly! (I've done this a _bunch_... ) --alex @ Atari BIX:alexl.
