Last night at the San DIego Amiga Users Group, representatives from
Commodore showed a prototype Amiga 3000. A prelim version of Workbench2.0
was shown at 640x480 resolution, with 256 colors. (non-interlaced)
They showed several popular Amiga images, and a few others using the higher
resolution. The machine had a 68030, 8 megs of RAM, and was housed in
an Amiga 2000 case, but there was an "Amiga 3000" decal on the front.

I understand from a friend up in Northern CA that Max Toy was the
guest speaker at FAUG last night. According to this friend, Max said
that the Amiga 3000 did not exist yet, and was just an idea being
realized (or something like that). Well, here in San Diego I guess we
were the lucky ones. Apparently these reps had just given a demo to
General Dynamics here in SD, and stopped by the meeting on the way 
to the airport. 

I can't wait until this machine ships, but I can't help wondering if 
it will slow down Amiga 2000 sales in the meantime...

Jay.
