Commodore will be releasing new, exciting technologies for the A2000 because it was designed to accept them. That's the difference between the A2000 and the A500. If you wanted those new, exciting technologies, you should have bought an A2000 to start with. Because Commodore will be offering A2000-specific peripherals does not mean they will be orphaning the most popular machine of the Amiga line. --M -- __ Michael Portuesi Silicon Graphics Computer Systems \/ portuesi@sgi.com Entry Systems Division -- Engineering
