Hey GUYS,
   Don't Panic.......!!!!! From the looks of the A800 specs posted to the list
a while ago and no reply to my question of who the actual source was I doubt
that there is an A800 even on the way.  Who the heck would want a machine with
Kickstart 1 and 512k of Chip Ram for the same price of the A600 and the A500?
No one!!!!!!(IMHO)  I highly highly doubt Commodore would even consider
releasing a machine based on this when it would cost the same as existing
classics such as the A500, and be incompatible with ALL!!!! I say ALL!!!!! new
software.  I have never seen a new program come out and say that it required
anything less that Worbench 1.2.  Sounds like a HOAX to me guys.. LEt's wait
and see what new machines Commodore actually releases, and according to the
Stock report the A600, A1200, and A4000 do not sound like the only ones.  The
A4000 is supposed to be the base model for a new line of Power Amigas.  Keep
and eye out for official Commodore info. guys.  I don't think Commodore is
gonna flood the market with incompatible machines.  the A1200 and A4000 are
compatible and the A600 looks like a good attempt to make the A500 look more
modern.  Well as always these are my opinions.....
