No Don, I never said that I believed that the 3000 would be the top of the Amiga line for X number of years. What I did say is that the 3000 was suppose to be the Amiga on which future technology was to be based. And I thought that CBM would follow through with expansion cards or other enhancements so it would remain so. Actually CBM has released almost NOTHING for the 3000 since it was introduced, so now I know how the 1000 owners feel about being abandoned by CBM. I know that technology moves on and the release of a newer chipset was going to happen sooner or later, but I was under the impression that us 3000 owners would be able to enjoy the newer technology as well as the 1200 and 4000 owners. If not, then a motherboard swap or "Power-Up" deal would keep me happy. And yes, I do think the 3000 is now obsolete. Considering what we have now with the AGA chipset, and what we are likely to see in the near future, and the fact that the 3000 can't easily be upgraded to that technology, it is obsolete. But getting back to the serious stuff, maybe it might be best to drop this subject and let things cool off for awhile. Considering what Paul Toal said, I might be getting on some people's nerves <g>. Somehow I manage to do that with some people. John – K7KB (Flying via AutoPilot)
