- My 2500 runs 2.1 but I don't use it enough anymore to justify
- upgrading to 3.x. (It doesn't even have a modem on it currently...
- but it's where my printer and scanner and CD ROM drive live).
-
- My 1200 runs 3.0 and I haven't seen any reason (yet) to upgrade
- it to 3.1.
-
- The two machines are in different rooms, parnetted together by
- a long cable (made from that special "low capacitance" wire
- so I get no errors at all despite the cable being 45 feet long).
-
- This isn't the ideal solution, but it works okay for me.
-
- I do all my WWW work on the 1200. I don't even have a browser
- on the 2500. And the 1200 has twice the hard drive storage
- that the 2500 has. So in the case of my two machines, anyway,
- less is more :)
-
- My point is that if one has only one Amiga and it's running
- something less than 3.x it would be worthwhile to upgrade it
- to 3.1.
