Just for the record:

I have a new & shiny A500, I love it, I tell all my friends and colleagues
to buy one.  I have to stifle myself in research seminars lest I burst out
with cries of "the Amiga already *does* that!".  Good job, y'all!

I think you spent money in the right places (keyboard, custom chips) in
the A500, while leaving the door (or SOTS) open for expansion.  It seems
that a SOTS box with memory and a SCSI port would satisfy most needs.

The only suggestions I have for the next generation are:
1) To be able to grab text to the clipboard and to fetch it back, using the
mouse.
2) A resolution and device independent IFF graphics format.

	Thanks for a job well done,
