Thank you for all the detailed information. I work on UNIX systems and
I have been contemplating the purchase of a home system that would allow
me to continue to work in a UNIX environment. I have an old (actually,
two ;-) Commodore 64 system with floppy disk drive and color monitor,
and I'm naturally wondering if any of this equipment can be used with an
Amiga UX - or if I have to completely replace with new equipment. Any
ideas? Is there any market for used Commodore 64 equipment (what about
for parts?) ?

Any indication about when the 'production' release can be expected?
You also mentioned that it came with spreadsheet software. I would
be very interested in knowing more about this - is it a LOTUS 1-2-3
look-alike? Is there good documentation? Does it work?
Thanks :-)
