I'm sure everyone will agree on the portable Amiga. PCI may be a step above ZorroIII, but it's still what I consider in 'beta'. Some of the PCI cards on the market today do not work well together (ie conflicts between 2 or more PCI cards). It's still in it's infancy, and I'm sure that something better will come out of it when it's finished. I wouldn't own a Packard Bell and I would never recommend it to anyone I liked. Compaq, on the other hand, makes a good machine. If only the marketing side knew how to keep up with the demand (They're almost as bad as IBM was with the Thinkpads 🙂 And Compaq has horendous tech support to it's dealers (*average* time on hold is now up to 50 minutes, *everytime*). But I would recommend a Compaq over most other PC's any day (As far as PC's go, of course. They can't touch Amiga's :^) I guess I wouldn't classify my response in regard to 'low end' as much as 'middle end'. Low end is more like the A500,600,1200(stock). I'm talking more like the A3000 type's (updated in a new model, of course). Something that the rest of us can afford and build on. Like me; I don't make a lot of money, so I have to peice my system together with little scraps of leftover money. It would take years for me to save enough for an A4000, while I could have my A1200 and spend time upgrading it. I would at least be USING it, and not wishing for it. I'm sure there are more people out there like me that want the same thing, and it should be enough to generate good business. I'm sure that concentration on higher end stuff will generate a lot of new business, and I think it is a good decision to go that way. But, lets not forget about us little people.
