All you fellow Amigans amuse me. Want to know what REALLY FRUSTRATING IS? I own a TI99, an Atari ST, and my newest orphan, an Amiga 3000. I suppose some day I will have to buy a clone, but for now, all my old machines still do the great things they did when I bought them. In fact, my old 520 ST can STILL do graphic presentations which turn heads in the PC world. The TI has ben orphaned for years and there are STILL a few places to buy software and hardware for the TI. Atari is no longer supporting their computers, but a new ST clone running an 060 is now being marketted. There will still be Amiga support EVEN if another Amiga is never sold. With third party companies supporting the TI and ST, there are SURE to be companies who can eek out a meager existence selling goodies to Amiga junkies. Anyway, I think my computer purchase record qualifies me to advise people on what to buy. I'll let you know what I think what I think I'll get next. By the way, I didn't get a Next because I couldn't afford one, otherwise…

Carter: Perhaps those of us who've owned a bunch of orphaned computers SHOULD buy PC clones. If our "luck" continues, we might just make them a thing of the past as well. 🙂 Wayne
