However, most upgrade to 2 drives and one meg within 6 to 9 months and that includes broke college students. :-) It was 7 months between my purchase of my A500 until I had 2 drives and a meg but I suppose since I'm a netter I don't count. :-) Bitnet: C506634@umcvmb.bitnet __________________________ Internet: C506634@umcvmb.missouri.edu / \.--------. / \ "The Amiga just isn't reliable enough unless you | | Eric |---------+ | know a lot about the machine" -- Jerry Pournelle | `--------' ! | ================================================|| .--------. ! | "I did notice that at my party people stood in | | Edwards|_________+ | line to play with the Amiga"-- Jerry Pournelle | /`--------' | BYTE, October '88 \__________________________/
