This from a person who suscribes to a $12.50/hr. network?? Hmm, well I've
never had a huge budget and I am doing OK with my Amiga 500's, but then I
have grown into a bussiness making profit with it. Naturally, my sympathies
today are more with small bussinesses wanting to do creative work than with
C64 users looking to upgrade for the home.
I have had both a 64 and 128 in the past, and can say that the 128 is not
worth half the money it's sold for (or used to be before it was
discontinued). I can't see a solution in a 'C65'.. It would create more
resentment towards Commodore than anything else and would end up a bastard
with a reputation of being perhaps a bigger mistake than the 128. No
operating system, no software support and probably too cheaply made (like
the 128's).
The best course is the natural one: Let Amiga technology evolve. Prices
will continue to come down even on the A500 (as has already happnened).
Even though the A1000 is not made anymore, it's still an Amiga and can be
had quite cheaply.
