Jon, Each new release of MsDos has brought new problems of compatibility with previous versions, or at least thats the way I have interpreted the grumblings from IBM owners. Perhaps I'm wrong. Every machine will be obsolete one day, and the current crop of Amigas is no exception. When you say that perhaps programs will be written that need a particular piece of hardware, you are correct. Does it bother you that you can't run Digi-View software without owning the hardware? Commodore offered a deal to A1000 owners to allow purchasing a 2000 at a good price. How many other computer companies have done that? I think that it is up to every computer owner to assess their needs and act accordingly. If you look at it like your machine is an orphan, that's your priviledge. I happen to disagree with you. it is every bit as good as it ever was, and better than it started out as. The fatc that there are 2 more models to carry on the line and that they are compatible with the 1000 is enough for me. If it isn't enough for you, then i think that you should seriously consider trading it in before the offer has expired. from the gripes I hear, I get the feeling that the gripers would have preferred to remain with the 1000 and all its limitations, and never to advance to anything else. I wince when I think of what these same people will say when a machine comes out that is truly differet. Different to a degree that will virtually guarantee incompatibility with the 500, 1000, 2000. Like I say… that's life on the leading edge, and if it's too hot for those used to the stodgy pace of IBM and its ilk, then perhaps it isn't the place for you. Personally, I wouldn't be anywhere else. Regards, Larry.
