Hi, I've been lurking in the background of this forum for quite a bit and I guess it's time for me to step out and put some questions to you folks. My wife and I have recently started a business at home publishing a group of local health magazines. Are problem is that we have to upgrade our computer situation. I still have my 1000 at home and frankly, I still love the Amiga. When I first went out hunting for a computer I had worked on apples and ibms but when I ran into the Amiga it was love at first sight. I thought then that even if it was orphaned it would still make a great home computer. (My Amiga is the center of all my home electronic stuff.) I had been thinking of upgrading for quite some time but both the 500 and 2000 used essentially the same cpu so I didn't feel I could justify buying either. Finally, the 3000 came out but having felt the trap of having no expansion space I couldn't see getting the 3000 either. The 3000t came out but C= decided to put the price in the outer atmosphere. The 1200 and 4000 came out but the ide and lack of expansion on the 1200 makes it out of the question. The 4000 has more room but the same ide and my periperals are scsi. It is decision time. I would like to get a 3000t 040. In it I would need to put a GVP phone pak for the business calls and faxes. I want to put in a Emplant mac emulation so I can communicate better with the magazine's designer and various printers. I also need ibm so I can communicate with writers and for the business software. Further down the road it is anticipated that we may also want some video editing capability. I've heard that UU is coming out with a 486 emulator for the Emplant but I haven't heard how much extra the board would cost. My wife would just as soon get a beemer but I can hold her off if I can swing this idea of a multi-platform system. Any and all suggestions would be helpful.
