No, they would not get it if the price was more then the clone. And yes they are now in the process of getting the clone, at least one of them is the other has decided to go to gencon this year, and hold off on getting the PC till next…They are not made of $, and I never said that they 386 BB should cost an arm and a leg?! And the person who IS getting the clone IS getting an A500 also. But they would MUCH prefer an A3000 WITH a 386BB for one simply reason. Multi-platform ability on 1 PC. I myself have an A3000 with AT-BB and the A-Max II I will be adding Unix. I also am looking into the ST medusa and I have the PD A64. I for one think it is VERY nice to have ALL of these systems running out of one Box. Space may not be a problem for you but it is for me. My Townhouse can hold NO MORE, it is 1500 square feet and all of that is full with other things, not computer releated. My A3000 is in my finished basement, along with a compleat family room set-up includeding BIG TV/Stero 100 gal saltwater tank and a few other items, both bed rooms have no room for a computer desk, nor does the living room, kitchen, dinning room or laundry room. I simply dont have the room for yet another 4 computers. So it's kinda nice having them all in one box. I also disagree about it being just as cheap to get several computers as it is to get 1. with just one, I don't need 2 monitors, 2 hard drives, 2 printers, (I do need 2 modems) 2 computer desks, and 60 different cards to go into all these computers. When you add up the total cost off the entire computer and everything you are likly to add to it, it's cheaper to get it all in one box if possible. Say what you will flame away, but I happen to like the idea of walking into *ANY* software store and knowing that they will have SOMTHING that will run on my system. With the ATBB and Amax etc. This is NOT a problem. In my area Amiga software is not all that easy to come by, so running the other plattforms makes it nice. If there is someting I really like on the PC (WP 5.1 for example)
