So...why should I pay Commodore $1000 for a machine that >doesn't even have a decent McWrite ripoff. I gather Commodore seriously considers Apple, IBM, and others. Then again, I don't give a hoot about McWrite and rather like what that 1000 dollar Amiga gives me better than any Mac on the market.... even a Mac II. (I deplore not utilizing a processor like the 68020 to its maximum capabilities). It is also a case of Apple's approach being against my instincts. -Matt
