- Make up your mind. First you say AmaxII+ and now it's Jim Drew's Emplant.
- Emplant would indeed be a very impressive product, probably worth getting
- an Amiga for if Jim's description of it holds water. I don't want to say
- anything against it, but as you very well know it is still vapourware. No
- reviews, no reports by people who have tested even a prototype. All we have
- is UU's word.

- Well they still sell both the A500 and the A2000 where I work. There are all
- kinds of rumours re higher end Amiga's. What we have seen so far are consumer
- products like the A600, CDTV, etc...[ which I happen to like.].
