    I have several questions for the hardware/software design staff at C-A.

1)  How compatible (If at all) will the next AMIGA (A2000?) be with
    the A1000's? (I'm not trying to Imply I want compatibilty, I'm
    just curious.)

2)  Is there going to be a reasonable amount of RAM (1MEG+) as standard
    equipment with the new machine.
    (BTW C-A,  why don't you guys just include the 256K expansion with
     the A1000, and bump the price up accordingly, afterall then you
     wouldn't even have to package the card.)

3)  I have heard the new machine will have 1024X1024 resolution, and
    a palette of 16384 colors.  If so,  how many would be displayable
    at one time in all resolutions (Please include a seperate entry for HAM).

4)  OK C-A,  you set some new goals for other computer companies to
    attempt (Notice: 'attempt') to overcome, or better.  I realize
    the graphics team is doing an EXCELLENT job, but since the introduction
    of the machine, nothing (to my knoweldge) has been done to improve
    the sound capabilities of the machine.  What gives?  The //GS has
    a much better sound chip than the AMIGA, and I would personally
    like to see the new machine blow the //GS out of the water with
    its sound capabilities. (Perhaps better digitizing capabilities,
    MUCH improved speech synthesis, MORE voices (16+), and any other
    neat things a musician could want)
    (In regards to the //GS, the ONLY thing it has over
     the AMIGA, or even the MAC is it's sound chip)
    
    Thanks in advance for any and all responses

    -Matt

Note:  This was not meant to cut down the staff at C-A,  when the developed
       the current sound chip they were ahead of their time, but now
       that time is passed,  I think it time for something new.
