Suffer?  With A2000/500 expansion boards being zorro, and continued system
support, what are you suffering over?  Seriously, I am missing the point.
Fat Agnus, a tempting lady, can she be added as a roll-your-own flying
upgrade?  Does she suck power in some extraordinary way?  Would I need to
fly some ground wires from the edge of the board?

Here I sit posting news while a ray tracer is generating an image under a
spare shell.  What competitor were you talking about?  No holy wars please,
honest appraisals only, please.  I don't see a 256 element lookup table in
low res as a big win, so no PC2.  I can't afford a Sun-2 or 3, so none of
those either.  The new Apple?  The Next (when it appears)?  I could get an
A2000 instead, and such a juicy morsel that is.
