I would be too, but keep the A3000 going while the 2 A2000's and A1000
sit idly by. AmiTCP, Termite, Settlers, DPaint, FinalWriter and a few
other great progs keep it alive. I also see a LOT of 'Amiga names'
passing through linux and BSD mailing lists/newsroups. This is a logical
path for us to follow. I discovered linux about 3-4 yrs ago via
OS/2(another logical path for Amigoids to follow at the time).
But, I digress.
