If that is so, how do you explain the fact that the Lowell hires-board is probably never coming? The first stories about more resolution were already around in 1986, and now it's almost 4 years later and there's still nothing concrete around (except the SANG board, but without software it's no use). I begin to believe that Commodore just looks at the Amiga line as a (depending on the model) expensive home- and game-computer. Although I always hear of how Commodore is pushing into the professional sector, doing great advertisement and so on, I don't see ANYTHING of that. Maybe because I live in Europe, but the Amiga market here is a very big slice of the sales. -- ------------------------------------ Chris Brand - wizard@sosaria.imp.com "Justice is the possession and doing of what one is entitled to" - Platon ------------------------------------
