@ Wayne
Which is why I havent sent off for the 'slight' upgrade to a A3000T, which is the classic machine that I "lust" after!

You forget TWO facts:
Many, many, many, many, many, many, Amiga-Users for many, many, many, many, many years have used 68000 or 68020 powered machines!

They didn't up-grade to faster CPUs!!!

That "1998" performance can be just the ENTRY-LEVEL equivalent of the unexpanded A500s and A1200s that satified many ppl.

(( It may be of interest that a 500Mz G3 model is STILL sold by Apple ))
(( The A1 and the Pegasus are 100Mz FASTER than that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ))
