I am wondering, is now the time to buy an Amiga? I considering
buying a 3000, but I am worried about C= future (they are losing $
and a ression is coming). I also want to know if I do buy, am I
better off buying a 3000/25 or a 3000/16 and spending the left over
$500 for other stuff, like the FF CD-ROM.
If i do buy, I plan on writing some molecular biology software,
like a PDB viewer, and I am wondering if there is any interest in
such things.
Please respond via E-mail

Individual quarters may have losses but they have never had a loss over a year's period in a number of years. They are a solid company and aren't going out of business. Second, if the recession hits the U.S. and doesn't significantly impact Europe, the effect will not be enormous on C= as they sell around 75% of their machines there. Companies like IBM and Apple sell somewhere around 45% of their machines in the U.S. (I believe it is thereabouts). Please, people, although there are valid complaints about the Amiga, the Commodore is going out of business comment is getting old. It has been said for years now, and at least recently there is no evidence to support it. Their asset/liability ratio is 2.5/1. -- Ethan Ethan Solomita: es1@cunixb.cc.columbia.edu *Iraq += *Kuwait; NumCountries--; and by popular demand... free(Kuwait);
