Summary: Opinions on whether to wait for the A3000. Message-ID: <8027@oberon.USC.EDU> Date: 1 Apr 88 05:36:51 GMT Sender: news@oberon.USC.EDU Reply-To: bbrown@skat.usc.edu (Brian Brown) Organization: University Southern California Lines: 36 ///////////////////// Predictament ////////////////////////// 1). I was saving to get a computer, probably an A2000. I figured I could save enough money by the fall/winter to get it. With the annoucement of the new AMIGAs I am wondering whether I should wait the extra time to get the A3000. I realize that the A3000 could a long way off but I figure the improvements that will be made (ie. 32bit CPU-memory-bus, etc.) could make it worth the wait. I also know that the cost of the machine would be significant but I think that it will still be cheaper than any other 68030 machine. I was hoping that I could some valuable feedback from all of you. 2). Gee, I was also thinking, what with the new chips (SPARC,MC88000) springing up, one of these running Amiga OS and Unix would make a truly impressive workstation.
