I wouldn't either! The Amiga is showing signs of making a great come 
back. What did they do? They brought back the AT 1200 (I think that is 
what it's called). They put on board SCSI and it's compatible with all 
the previous software and hardware. The cost $600.00!! They've sold 
60,000 of them in 2 months in just 2 countries!! Now that's what I call 
doing it right!!

Now if anyone is thinking of bringing back the GS I'd take a good look at 
what Amiga has done. Keep your IDE and your x12 CD's and give me a 
computer that I can use with what I've got. Anything else is doomed to 
failure.
