The local dealer says he just put in a $20K order with C=. He ONLY ordered
A1200's WITH harddrives because he figures that's what people are going
to want. He claims for $850 you get the A1200, harddrive, plus DPaint 4.5
and Final Copy II! Hopefully, I'll be there Monday when the shipment
comes in....

Dan, I have uploaded the several different Workbench snapshots to the /pub
directory at usl.edu.  They are SkipWB1.GIF, SkipWB2.GIF, SkipWB3.GIF, 
WBPrefs.GIF, WB3.GIF, and WBSnap.GIF.  Most are 256 color, but WBSnap.GIF
is a 64 color screen converted to 256 colors for the GIF.

If you want an IFF viewer, I know of several that are available for MSDOS.
The best, IMHO, is CSHOW, which handles GIF, TIFF, IFF, PCX, BMP, and a
bunch of other formats.  It is shareware and well worth the money.

Hmmm... you might be right about my being off by a 10X factor.  But let
me say a few other things I can remember.  The 2000 specmark alpha chip
was a quad-issue and was not done yet.  And just having a fast chip doesn't
mean much unless you have a bus and all the rest which will allow it to
run efficiently at top speed. 

But I don't have the literture I once had and could easily be mixed up

I just pulled out a Tandy catalog, and I count 27 in my home town of Brisbane,
population 1.25 million - probably smaller than Frankfurt.  Sydney has 61
stores listed, and if you include dealers in smaller towns, there are more than
400 Tandy outlets across Australia.

I'd expect Power Pc, Apple's Pink and the rest to be a high end

the line stuff in the next few years.  Eventually by the turn of the
century, the current processers will be phased out as Power PC and other
exotic technologies becomes more prevalent in the market.  And of course
the carry over of the popularity of the current stuff will last for a
LONG time.  The same can be said for the Amiga.

Notice the difference?

Computer Shopper is a multiplatform publication, with enormous PC  
coverage, and Amiga/Mac/ST/Archimedes sections. Amiga Shopper is  
Amiga-only.

It may interest you to know as well that _none_ of the Amiga magazines  
have put down CD-I; indeed, there has been consensus that a next  
generation CDTV is needed from C=.

I wouldn't have either, given the choice.  Then again, I wouldn't put toy
SCSI in there either.  99% of the over-$3000 computers do one or the other.
If the option isn't high-performance (eg, real) SCSI, you have to make a
choice between performance (IDE) and flexibility (toy SCSI).  Based on the
Elvis principle (5,000,000 [Tort]Elvis fans can't be wrong), IDE is by far
the popular choice.

	Duh. You said, "Show me an Amiga that costs $350 NEW." I did, and now
you're pulling some extraneous crap out of your PC butt. The point is not
"doing something useful" (precisely what are you referring to here) but merely
a stupid price point. Can your $2.50 PC do 30fps animation and multiple
resolutions/pull-down screens out of the box? This is just standard Amiga
garbage, nothing special here. 
	My friend is an A500 owner. The machine is old, crappy, and the floppy
barely works. Yet he manages to write his term papers and print them out. He
HAS 1 meg of memory and one floppy, so therefore, by your 'terms', he's not
doing anything useful with his computer.
	The ambiguity of your statement, "...something useful..." is made even
more apparent when you consider there are people who do the exact same thing
with C-64s and Apple IIs, which have LESS than one meg of memory.
	On top of that, what's with this 'console' label? Do 'consoles' have
keyboards? Do 'consoles' have the ability to be upgraded to HDs and
accelerators, thereby granting them the very powers that are usually relegated
to 'computers'? I hope you're not referring to the fact that these machines
have an integrated keyboard. How does THAT make them any less of a 'computer'?
	Don't get me wrong, a HD and multimegabytes of memory are positive
things, but there are actually people out there who don't NEED these things to
be 'productive'.

   I am talking about Amiga CD-ROM software here.  CDTV titles are different.
CDTV titles are almost always written assuming a TV display, so they use HUGE
fonts and low-res modes.  They almost never take advantage of Amiga features,
like including an ARexx port or features to take advantage of the extra
memory and processing power that most Amigas have.  Plus, CDTV titles are 
often multitasking-unfriendly (busy waits and such).

   How many REAL **AMIGA** CD-ROM titles are available, NOT INCLUDING CDTV
TITLES?

it off.... just to have the header for you guys to see....  Actually my
users tell me all the time how great tool it is!  It even makes intuition
on a C= 64 hooked to my modems!  WOW!  Now even my MS-DOS and MAC users
enjoy the intuition and multitasking of the Amiga!  Mac users actually
found out that while conneted with my BBS their mouse become a 2 button
one!  Really Great!

Such software is a MUST have for all DLG boards around!
