Hi Abbub,

I have the original X-Surf. Been looking at the new 100mb version, but not at it's stupid price!.

Then I could have both my A3000 & A4000 networked.

Yep. Better multitasking! We now that that for granted!

Plus a GUI, I'm more happy in the command line, but some things are just
better with a GUI. Ie: Amiga OS is better at the GUI, but a lot can still be
done on the command line.
