   The problem is NewTek's lack of mentioning the 'Toaster Station' as an Amiga
computer.  There are just a lot of graphic tools that can benefit the Toaster
user, if he only knew those tools are Amiga tools.

   My point was that NewTek doesn't even ORIENT the 'Toaster Station' owner as to 
know their own machine.  I think that's simply bad.

	Well?  If I get one (4000 or 1200), will I have to throw away every 
hardware-bashing game I own, every demo I own, and only be able to keep:

A) OLD stuff like arcticfox and marble madness that didn't hit the hardware,
B) utilities (CLI-type stuff), and
C) the occasional OS-friendly game (like SimCity)?

	If so, it's not worth it.  I'll stick with an A500 with 1 meg chip 
and 1 meg fast with PAL, and I'll check back in ~2 years to see if anyone 
has actually written any stuff for AGA.  BTW, if C= had to totally redesign 
the chipset and break all the old stuff, why didn't they improve the sound?

Same goes for the palette selector and MultiPlayer. With AmigaGuide however,
the library is distributed with many software packages, so once it becomes
more ubiquitous, the 2.1/3.0 distinction will be less of a concern.

Well, since virtually no one has referred to the Comdex show, I thought
that I would mention the fact that the PC version of Quicktime is being
lauded as a revolutionary contribution to the market.

Aside from assessing its merits, does anyone have any comments on the
practicality of developing Amiga support for it?

BTW, kudos to CBM for lining up an impressive number of third-party
developers. The press release seemed quite encouraging.

Any comments on the A1200 MSRP?

    If you are worried about price, two options...

    1) Buy an Amiga 1200 even with a hard disk and (eventually 32-bit
RAM) it will cost less than a 386 clone.

    2) Buy a round trip airline ticket to the US or UK, buy your
machine and fly home.  Right now an Amiga 3000 is about $1500 here,
and some places are selling the Amiga 4000 for under $3000 (both
prices w/o monitors).

    Finally, on the issue of incompatible software, the situation is
MUCH worse in the IBM compatible market than in the Amiga market at
least in the US.  In fact, it has become common here for companies to
ship four or more different versions of a package for various
versions/combinations of MS-DOS and hardware.  In the Amiga market,
companies are pretty good about shipping one version which plays on
all machines, and labelling the box with memory and OS version
requirements.  (Although we are beginning to see more of the PC clone
type fragmentation right now with three viable versions of AmigaDOS
around.  The situation should clear up when everyone is on 3.1.)

Very few CD-ROM drives currently support multi-session, *BUT* there's
nothing that forces the "user" to have his discs updated to create
multi-session discs.  Of course it is cheaper that way, but at this
stage, I'm not sure cost is a real object.

	Sigh.  I was not talking about "drivers".  I am talkinga bout
the garbage that comes with ms-dos. os/2 comes with that same junk.
Things like "mode.com" "backup.exe" gwbasic, etc.  The stuff that
if you have os/2 you don't need.  Same with windows, their silly

What is all this talk about the Atari Falcon anyway? Who really cares.

It'll never out sell the Amiga or even threaten its market.

If anything, Amiga maniacs should be more concerned about NeXT.

I was slightly dissapointed to see that in the 1.44 Mb CrossDos format, the diskdrive
is running at half speed on a A4000 :(

I'm aware that 1.76 format has to be slowed down, but 1.44 Mb should not be a problem?
Does anyone have a sollution for this very annoying problem?  I use this format to get
files from Internet via I*M's to my Amiga.
