Major increase in size? Where? Adding a minirack to my A1000 adds
exactly 12 square inches to the footprint of my Amiga. 12 inches that
are otherwise totally unusable *anyway*, as they live behind the
external disk drive, and underneath it's cable.

There exist vertical SCSI drives, and I wouldn't be surprised to find
some drive that stacks on top of the stuff already sitting beside my
Amiga. No problem, and certainly not a "major increase in size."

<Cards for the A1000 are still available

Though at least one company - that deserves to be called major, as
they had no competition - has already abandoneded that market.

What quote? I don't see a quote in what I said. I *do* see quoted
text, which is tagged as being an implication. My OAD says that to
imply something is "to suggest without stating directly, to hint."

Please don't attribute your straw men to me.

<	Please guys, let's try and be constructive.

I've posted a constructive version of the flame you were replying to to
the net already. It's much to late for CBM to undo the damage they've
already done, and I suspect that there's no chance that it will
prevent such mistakes in the future. But it's at least worth a try.

Now, can you reciprocate by reading what is written, and not
overstating the case for the A2000?
