Hi all. I am considering buying a new Amiga. I had a 500 two years ago and had to sell it. Now I can afford an Amiga again :-) 1) What's the scoop on the 3000? What is it, when is it coming out, is it worth waiting for? 2) Same questions, only about the ECS. 3) Is there yet a terminal emulator that does VT200/300 level graphics (like Handshake, only for higher level terminals). I do mean a *complete* emulation (like Hanshake) not like Diga, or other cheezy half-vt100s. 4) Is there a News package/program for it? 5) Is there a Unix for it? While we're on the subject, what is Amix, and who makes it/when/where/howmuch? 6) What are the "best" brands of 3rd party memory, and hard disks/controllers? If people want to reply by email, I will SUMMARIZe and post to the net (i.e. I won't post an append file of all mail messages ;-) Thanks!

Amix is Unix ported to the Amiga. Plans are to have System V Release 4.0 out early 1990. Amix has not been released yet and there has been no price set for it.
