I beg to differ with you Peter :^).  There are now quite a few Amiga
2000's in offices connected to ethernet and using NFS.  Those attributes,
with a 68020/68881 card and 4MB of memory, make it a very useful
workstation in my book.

Of course an Amiga 500 with only 512K ram is considered by many people to
be only a game machine, but such is life.
