- Is it just me or do others get the distinct impression that the Amiga 2000 and
- perhaps more generally Commodore have reached the end of their useful life.
- With the price of a 486DX-33 with 120MB HD 256k cache and Super VGA at around
- $1800-$2000 Australian (and that's new with warranty), and with more and more
- software companies refusing (or unable due to the Amiga's capablilities) to
- transfer their products to the Amiga it seems as though Commodore is unable to
- compete.
- With Apple and IBM teaming up to release a joint product in the not to distant
- future (less than 3 years) is it time to abandon ship???
