Hi there. I'm also part of the AmiCUE group and a very active Amiga user. I've got an A4000T, A1200T, three A500s, three A2000s, and my very first A1000 (I also have an A4000D currently but it's on eBay so I won't have it for long.)
Like you, I'm chomping at the bit for OS4 but even if I could find a place to buy an new Amiga I'm going to have a VERY hard time convincing my wife it's worth the high pricetag. Maybe Amy'05 will be better but even still it's going to have to be a "Christmas/Birthday" present spread over several years (it would be worth it though) :-D
