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that the 3000 can't easily be upgraded to that technology, it is
obsolete.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.
