Ethan, I'm pretty sure that's the case. The company must have a gotten a good price on the system, and I'm glad for them. I can live without the 68030, although an A2500/30 would have been nice, but they never should have gotten the 2090A. The funny thing is they say they bought the system within inquiring as to the model of the controller. I believe them, but I found it odd that a software developer would not inquire as to exactly what they were getting. I got a copy of the CBM receipt today and I'm scheduled to speak to CBM tomorrow to try and exchange the 2090A and Rodime drive for a 2091 and Quantum drive. Then I'll be truly happy. If I can't exchange it, I'll keep what I have and enjoy it. What will bother me though, is the thought that CBM put one over on the company. The receipt from CBM doesn't itemize the system. It simply states, "Amiga 2500 Desktop Publishing Workstation". Originally, Dave Mannich from CBM said that he would honor whatever the receipt stated. Since the receipt is silent on that point, my argument is that CBM should have advised that they were selling a discontinued configuration. The company had every right to assume they were getting the latest version, since you would get the latest version from a dealer, and they weren't told anything to the contrary by CBM. I'll keep you posted. Dom Fontana
