- Yep. A big gap.

- No. It's called the 4000/30, and should be available very soon. In terms of
- US costs, it should weigh in at around $2200.00. As the name implies, it's a
- 4000 with a 68030. Saves on tooling costs, since the AGA is an interim
- technology, and a new line of machines should show up in a couple of years.
-
- They will keep making the 2000 and 600 as long as they can sell them. The
- 600 is the C64 of the 90's, and the 2000 is needed for those "Toaster
- People" (until NewTek comes out with a new toaster that doesn't need an
- Amiga). The 3000 is dead (check out Creative Computer's ad in AmigaWorld).
-
- This is all a combination of rumor, speculation and the barest threads of
- fact.
