You are absolutely right! Just one thing, Get an a4000T NOW, and run a multi
060 board NOW, sorry it's a pipe dream! I love my Amiga but it has been left
behind not because there are better machines, but because THERE AREN"T ANY! I
had 12 A2000,s running on a network, all with Toasters, and all with 040's. I
must make a living, and worrying weater or not I'll be able to get parts, or
have support beats any "Amiga is the best" argument you could have.

I still use my 2000 for stuff like macros, but I then send stuff over the
network to my Alpha and thats that.
