>>"FWIW, A4000 desktop w/CS MKII 060. Not thrilled about the idea of being forced to upgrade it to PPC either."
>You are kidding right?
Not at all. "Forced" as in anything beyond 3.9 won't support 68k. I'm running 3.5 now, and don't see much reason to go to 3.9 even.
>the CS-PPC is far too expensive and far too unreliable.
That's the impression I've gotten as well. I'd rather spend the money on an AmigaOne or else a PeeCee and OSXL/Amithlon.
>As much as I love my mk-II the speed is simply far too slow for modern computing.
Hmm. "Modern computing." I keep seeing this phrase used to justify any number of hardware "upgrades." My MKII is the 50Mhz version, the only time I wish it were faster is when rendering in Lightwave (which I don't do nearly as often as I used to). Anything else, does what I want it to do just fine as is. Maybe I'm not "modern."
>You wouldn't really rather try to stay with 060 would you? The AmigaOne will give you a complete new MB with at least 3X the performance of the CS-PPC for half the price.
But won't give me backwards compatibility (see above). And if I'm not getting that, I might as well emulate instead, and keep my A4000 for the Toaster/Flyer.
Don't get me wrong...I think the AmigaOne (whichever flavor) will be a wonderful thing. I just don't see it doing what *I* want. I'm fully aware I do not represent the majority.
