I'm wandering into my local amiga dealer tonight...
(Software Supermarket in Regina, Sask. Canada.... the people actually
own amigas... and work with them... makes hell of a difference... )

I wander over to the A2000 thats sitting running some nifty animation...
I notice that they've changed the screen that they used to have on it
(used to be a 1080.... ) I figure they've put a 1084 on the system.
Hold it, that animation is a little smeared...
Hold it.... that label says

____2080____


Looking slightly more dazed than usual.... i find out that
Commodore Canada just sort of shipped it over.... they were't even
totally sure of the canadian price.... although $800 canadian was the
guestimate (Remember 1 $ US = .80 Canadian or .75 canadian at bank exchange )

It looks quite nice... does NOT totally elimiate flicker but it certainly
looks a hell of a lot better in interlace...
Prowrite V1.1 looks AWESOME (instead of squinting... i could read )
Excellence looked even better...

anyways.... basically the 2080 looks like a 1084... same connections
everything  only difference is that the label says 2080... and everything
ghosts somewhat....  the ghosting is not intolerable...
infact i could ignore it after some playing about....

Now... i have a decison.... Hard drive.... Star NX2400 printer or

a high percistance monitor..... DAMN IT I HATE THIS!!!!
