Well I have great news for the Amiga Lovers, I have a 2000 and just got a Mac SE30 a week ago. The Mac has been one problem after another! The software is very good, but Apple ties you into there printers and other add ons. I can't even get postscript. Worst of ALL I have a BAD HEADACHE ever night after using the Mac. I think the 3000 and the 2.0 will put Amiga's in the Mac league operating system wise and be a much better value without the eyesore! I hate the tiny screen. I must give them credit for the operating system and a few other items, but heck, I like my Amiga MUCH better. I felt like a trader but I am selling the Mac and the 2000 and getting a loaded 3000. I have the HP Laser IIP with postscipt that I will keep. I found out that you have to have the Appletalk card (port) to get postscript. The IIP can use a standard postscript driver, but not with the Mac. I have to buy HP's Appletalk card to get the two to work, but it's not available yet!! AND almost $300.00 !! Long live the Amiga!! I just found out how much I really like it!! I hope this doesn't offend anyone! (Mac users) Just my opinion. Thanks! Jamie
