I posted this as a new message because it seems that the old HD Floppy drive thread has somehow become a computer package thread! 🙁 I wanted to put in my two cents! I love my Amiga. I started with a A2000 and now I own a A3000. *BUT*, I think that Amiga Users are missing an important point here. Why is it that "Commode"-ore is shafting us (Amiga users). Why is it that I can't walk in to my dealer and buy a HD Floppy drive when I know that they exist, are being sold in A4000, and even some A3000s and that they do work in DF0:? It has been possible to purchase HD Floppy drives for PCs for YEARS and Macs have been shipping HD Floppy drives as standard for YEARS? Don't give me that old "C= was having trouble with them" because I think that that's a "losers limp". I might believe that if it weren't for the following: 1- Can't buy a HD floppy drive 2- Can't buy OS 2.1 (I'll not complain about 3.0) 3- 386 BB For about $800 I can get C= generous offering (No color VGA support, even for 1950,1960 or multisync owners), no floppy drives & no HD. Or, for under $1000, I can buy a 386sx 40MHz *WITH* 5.25 & 3.5 floppies, *WITH* 40meg HD & 1meg RAM, *WITH* SVGA monitor & card, keyboard, mouse, etc. 4- Can't buy a A1200 that is being sold over seas as I write. 5- Marketing – HA HA cartoon HA HA adds HA HA I'm sure that I'll catch flack for this posting. Like the guy that replied last time I complained about BB. He told me to give C= a break because the BB is so specialized! (All the equipment listed in 3 isn't specialized? Get a life! I use PCs & Macs professionally every day but I'm still supporting C= with my purchases & trying to introduce others to how powerful the Amiga is. So, before all of you start bashing me or telling me I should buy a PC think about it. I want C= to stop treating all of their users & supporters like second class citizens.
