- For my upcoming work I also need an (at least) '386 bridgeboard, due to
- the lack of certain engineering packages on the Amiga. I'd *like* to
- buy a better Amiga and such a bridgeboard, but if C= doesn't start
- lowering the prices or actually *release a middle-of-the-road Amiga*
- (*NOT* the 3000, but something with AGA and upgradeable later on), I'll
- be forced to buy a clone instead.
-
- No kidding. My wife and I are considering another computer purchase, and I
- have a *real* tough time justifying another Amiga. I've got a pile of freeware
- engineering stuff that I use all the time, but it only runs on PCs. Darn
- few science/engineering packages of any kind (and quality) for the Amy.

- Same here. I've owned Amigas since '87 and have been waiting for better
- audio since about '90.
-
- Ayup. Got my A1000 in '86 or '87 (I think '86), but I'll have to relegate it
- to doing the audio stuff a new clone won't do if that's the way we go.
