Kevin: One of the the things we (those of us that have been using the Amiga for years) have complained about is CBM's dismal marketing of the Amiga to the business community. Now, CBM has latched on to two areas where the Amiga excels (multimedia/video & UNIX). Business folk were not impressed with nor ever really understood multitasking… video & unix, however, they understand. I'm sure that most Amiga's being sold right now are not ebing sold on the strength of video… in fact, most Amiga's at this time, are being sold to Amiga owners (ala POWER-UP). However, I would bet that nearly all Amiga's being purchased now, by businesses, ARE being purchased for either video-multimedia work, or as unix workstations. And that signals the first time in the Amiga's history, that business has found a reason to evaluate the Amiga and choose it for its superiority, and, the first time that CBM has had any success placing the Amiga in the business environment. As a home computer, the Amiga is purchased by enthusiasts… but as a business machine, the Amiga is now a multi-media/video machine. – Whapping from the North Coast Michael
