IBM machines and compatibles have such a hold on todays micro-market that it is considered a good idea to have 'IBM compatibility'. I think SideCar is a win, though I will never use it. If Commodore advertises correctly (e.g. advertise SideCar WITHOUT downgrading the Amiga it's connected to), it will get its product into the IBM buyers market. But if you offer 'plain' compatibility your going to get in trouble. If you notice, the compatibles doing the best business are the ones that provide '3x performance', or great deals integrated systems with HD's and such. Nobody is going to take notice of SideCar unless it has something of that sort going for it. -Matt
