They probably feel just like the people who DID buy the SE and Mac II. They wish they would have bought an Amiga. :-) Actually, As most of you should remember Commodore did not design the 1000. Some guys in Los Gatos did. And they did a good job also. Commodore understood this and bought them out and improved on their design. Amiga can't be blamed for building a great machine and Commodore can't be blamed for building on this idea. One other thing. Anybody that doesn't realize the change that goes on in both the state of the art and the marketability of a product has to be brain dead. I can accept someone missing the point on the marketability of the product but computer design changes come quite quickly and if a company, let's say, ah .. Commodore, for example, knew what they know now 3 years ago then they would have built the 2000 & 500 instead of the 1000 ( if they had built the 1000!). One last thing. Could you PLEASE stop whinning. Jeez, I hate it when you do that. :-) -- "Don't quote me on this!" Michael Figg DLA Systems Automation Center Columbus, Oh. (614)-238-9036
