>> (sheesh, almost 10 years with this computer). << >> You're not knocking the Amiga are you??? 🙂 Never! >> the only problem it has is the lack of software support This never bothered me in the past (I still have a vintage Oct. 1985 A1000), but recently it has. I am finally seeing a lot of PC software that I would love to own and run, but can't. >> $300 for the ability to emulate the Mac and soon a 386/486 is cheap Well, aren't you forgetting the price of the Mac roms/OS and the cost of the PC software/OS? I don't know how much the PC software will cost, but I doubt it'll be free and you still have to purchase MSDOS and Windows which is a few bucks. System 7 is not cheap either. If the PC software comes out within the next two months with good compatibility reviews, I'll buy it. If not, I'll be buying a clone and I don't want to do that. I have just run into a wall and out of patience. 10 years is a long time for anything. Btw, I fully understand Utilities Unlimited approach to not announcing a release date for their software, but it really is a handicap to their customers. I, for one, cannot make a business decision (this is my business system) to purchase another computer or not because I don't have the proper information. I would like to set aside $500-600 for the Emplant system rather than a couple grand on a 486 clone, but not knowing whether the Emplant PC will be available two, six or twelve months down the road is just not acceptable. I have to draw the line somewhere and unfortunately that is forcing me to abandon the Amiga and the Emplant based solely on a lack of information. David Czaya …via AutoPilot 73445,407
