Not entirely true. I would love to have a 3000 at for as a workstation,
but I need 1024 x 1024 resolution on a 19" screen. CBM apparently wants to
break into the workstation market BAD! The machine is more than adequate
for most network uses, it's a powerful standalone, and Unix is due out
from (The new Unix that is) AT&T this summer, with CBM hopefully close on
their heels. What's the max on the 3000? I think someone quoted something
like 640 x 400, or whatever. Whatever it is, it ain't even VGA or
SuperVGA (admittedly many more colors, which is great) I'm no hardware
hacker, but it has been done before, CBM COULD have put in a higher res
mode with fewer colors, and as long as they were going to support
Multi-Scan, they could have put in 1024 x 1024 (black & White or 16
color/grey scale) CBM did not though. Now I know they aren't idiots, so
let's hope they have a graphics upgrade in the works SOON!
