Rick, I recently acquired KickWork and KickBench. So I now have the setup you describe. At the time I was looking at the Amiga as a possible business machine these were not available (I bought my "work" Amiga in 1985). Today, an A2000 is the same price as a similarly configured PS/2, which has faster disks, better resolution, better business software, and the advantage of being blue. And there is a difference: autobooting off the floppy switching to the hard disk is MUCH slower. As for the resolution, even for E-mail, higher pixel densities are easier on the eyes. And in order to do a decent terminal emulation for our mainframe terminals, (and the graphics are pretty straightforward) one would need higher densities. I used to think the A1000 was a machine with great potential. I bought two (one for home, one for office). For home it is still great (I had my Sun 3/110 removed because I like the Amiga better). I wouldn't recommend it for business use. R0ML.
