If you go back and look at the details of the 2500AT and 2500UX, one thing should be clear - that any 2000 can become one of these special models by simply adding the needed items. All the items mentioned were either shown by CBM at different shows, or talked about by various CBM folks on the information services (Bix, UseNet, Plink, Ect). The information I have says... Mr. Gould stressed "the A2000 will remain compatible with all new attributes of the new Amiga products". So it seems to me your worries (concerns?) are unneeded! Relax, dont be scared and grab that brewski. > Greg Beckham -- Dan Schein uucp: {ihnp4|allegra|burdvax|rutgers}!cbmvax!schein Commodore AMIGA ARPANET: cbmvax!schein@uunet.uu.net 1200 Wilson Drive Bix: dschein Plink: Dan*CATS West Chester PA 19380 phone: (215) 431-9100 ext. 9542 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ All spelling mistakes are a result of my efforts to avoid education :-) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ I help Commodore by supporting the AMIGA.
