owned Amigas, Macs and PCs and am currently using a borrowed PC, having no computer of my own (well OK, a minimal C=64 system). I want an Amiga, but I need a Mac. I cannot afford both. If the new Amiga uses the Power PC processor 1 would wait for one and rely on Mac emulation. But without the same processor, software emulation performance is unacceptable and hardware cards with processors are too expensive, usually nearly as much as the system they emulate. If I bought a Mac I could get a bare bones 1200 just to have an Amiga right away. But then, aside from being disappointing, I couldn't get a new Amiga for a long, long time (read: maybe ever). A current Amiga with PPC accelerator and emulation would be too expensive for too little Amiga, and PowerMac compatibility would be questionable at best. Ahhhhh! Help! Unfortunately, all this convoluted logic will resolve itself. If AI makes a significant announcement, I will wait. If not I need to get a Mac clone before they're gone at the end of this year ('cause I sure as bloody hell ain't gonna buy an Apple at twice the price for half the performance). And then, before spending .more than half as much on a stripped 1200, wait. And wait. And wait . Amiga Inc. needs to talk. Sincerely Tim George ldyllwildCA When we received your letter, we immediately FAXed ii lo Amiga Inc. for comment. As of press lime, they have not responded either on or off the record. - ED Dear AC, 1 have an 040/ 4000 with 18 megs and a 1.2 gigabyte Micropolis hard drive. I know the Amiga is the best computer and other platforms should be dumped. I enjoy the current information about the Amiga and I really enjoyed finding out the Amiga is year 2000 compliant.
