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.
