- You call a total redesign of the Custom chips a minor upgrade?????
- Your so called "little system upgrades" amounts to the AMIGA 4000.
- Now that's not very cheap, is it, compared to a $700 upgrade?
-
- Tell me what computer company gives free OS upgrades? (BTW the new OS
- does not only get rid of "dead-in-the-water-tasks"
-
- Its a good thing you dont plan to pirate 2.04. We need to help
- commodore get some cash for their effort. The least we could do is
- legally obtain their products if we want to get them. Besides, 2.04
- isn't that great if you don't have all that new hardware.
