You forgot a picture of the huge binder that came with the A3000. Boy do I miss those days! :(

I always felt the Amiga 3000 was Commodore's last attempt at really doing a professional rollout of a computer line.  The manual was in a binder that had pages on nice stock, plastic separators, and color(!) photos splashed around.

You also had warranty choices, universities were buying them, AMIX was a professional option, and the case for the 3000, 3000T, and A3070 were some of the best in the line. We even got two different mice!

The Amiga 4000 manuals were pretty cheap and it just felt like money was tight at CBM.

-P

PS - My AOS 3.5 came in a slick box but my AOS3.9 (Software Hut) was just a jewel case IIRC.

Maybe Commodore were going green, by trying to help save the planet with their skimpy manuals.
:laughing:

Bet there is zero chance of a new batch of OS 3.9 CD being made in a DVD case???
