Most of the Amiga info I have is from reading this newsgroup. I got the impression when the 2000 was introduced sans the 68020/68881, better graphics etc. that the 3000/Ranger/Vastly better technology type machine idea was trashed (in my opinion). The dismantling of the original CA group confirmed this (again in my opinion). So I have no expectation of CA to bring out a new machine. They've put all their eggs into the 2000/IBM compatability basket at least for the time being. Is there any evidence to the contrary? I don't have a machine right now (Poor college student). But I was really impressed with the Amiga line and was anxiously awaiting the introduction of 68020 box with Amiga's awesome arch. But I feel I'll be waiting much longer than I anticipated. -- Byron Jeff E-mail address: ...!{akgua,allegra,amd,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo,ut-ngp}!gatech!gitpyr!byron
