From %what I've read, Gateway and Amiga have every intention of revamping the %machine and putting it back in production. BTW, the A1200's aren't %remanufactured...they are brand new units that they started new production %lines for a few months ago. Don't flame me, but my question is : is there a market out there for the Amiga? Even the video editing/effects market seems to have turned towards Apple machines. And even Apple itself is finding selling difficult in the face of the Wintel machines. Aren't the A1200 a little too 'old' technology for the new machines market where everyone must have a fast MMX Px with faster math copro for Quake? Unless they're selling them as NCs or Nintendo killers. And even as a Nintendo killer, I wonder how the A1200 stacks up against the N64 (not that I've actually seen one in action). I'm really curious. Ben
