A500p?
AmigaBASIC is still being worked on by MicroSoft; its just not currently
bundled with the A3000. I think that's the limit of the implications one
can reasonably draw. (drawing unreasonable implications is another
question 🙂 ) Whether AmigaBASIC is bundled or not is a marketing
decision, that may even change from country to country, depending on that
countries Commodore Marketing Dept. perception of the local market. It may
also vary from machine to machine. If you feel strongly one way or the
other (actually, better make it if you feel strongly to have it included,
since there's little point in lobbying to not be given something) send your
cards and latters to the appropriate Marketing VP.
