This is what I thought until a developer told me otherwise.  But I can't tell
because he made me promise not to and of course I don't want to get him in
trouble.  I can only let you guess what the 3000 is.  Lets stop these often
repeated and publisized guesses and just wait until Comodore feels fit to tell
us!  We don't wish to influence the unwary, do we?

I've already seen a post here of the Commodore sales and marketing strategy
until the end of the year.  It had mentioned the A2630 but not the Amiga 3000
(if memory serves me correctly).  Tended to make be believe the developer
was not just blowing smoke and that I can understand Commodore's secrecy.
