#A Question…

I just have a logical question. With all the rumors swirling around the
"Ranger" and the "Built-in IBM card" I begin to wonder.
It seems logical that the Amiga will be upgraded. One example is Commodore's
switch to a 100-pins standard for the bus. When these upgrades occur, where
will the current Amiga owners be? I plead for PC/XT/AT type compatibility
between machines, if not complete compatibility.
Well, at least software. The Amiga A1000 is an excellent machine, and is now
being recognized as such. The popularity is gaining. I hope that I will not
be "cast-off" if Commodore-Amiga goes the route of some companies where the
original owners are forgotten in the face of new machines.
How about it? If we see a Ranger (A2000?) will the Amiga (A1000) survive?
Does Commodore have an official statement with regard to future machine
upgrades? Of course, no one expects that previous owners will get a free new
machine. I just worry about compatibility within the Amiga line.
