NO...
I think it was its downfall and its biggest problem, we had broadband in 2000 and it could of used that in the Amstrad E3(a Rj45 connector could of been added), but they kept its design because it was cheaper to build on what you have made already and made them money, well that what Amstrad was about, building cheap products, most of there Music Systems were cheaply made, they were like the British version of Sanyo, if users had broadband as a option so connect to it, instead of paying the fee, but no, if you bought the machine you was signing up to dialup at 17p - 20p a day or more.
When you bought it say from Dixons, they wanted you to buy it so the salesman would not say anything about the 17p to 20p charge you would pay daily or everytime it saw email, I know, I bought a Amstrad E2 Plus from Dixon's in 2004, I got the money from my Mum before she died on 18th October 2004 so bought the Amstrad E2 Plus in November that year, the Amstrad E3 came out near christmas that same year.
The Charging Dialup Info was on its packaging, your only got the packaging(the box) then you bought it and the salesman only talked about what the Amstrad E2 Plus could do and not that you be changed to use it because that would not be a sell point of it but a minus, it would make the customer think if it was a good idea to get or not, so they said nothing about it only its selling points.
Products that are made to make money are never really that good.
And Alan Sugar knew its was a dead product when he made it in 1999, but made it anyway, that why its codename was BSI, why would anyone make a product that was a crap idea too begin with... why... FOR MONEY, money drives a lot of things that are made now, like the Mini Consoles, companies make them because at the moment Mini Consoles make the company thats making them money, they do not build them at the goodness of the heart.
