- Have to agree, really. Maybe having 030 and 040 versions of the 1200
- available would be nice, but mine has an 030 (and a 68882) and I'm quite
- happy with it. If/when I'm rich I'll get an 040, probably, but in the
- meantime I have some money to put towards more bolt-ons.
-
- (Besides, I was using an unadorned 68000 until only a few months ago, so
- I'm probably not in the right frame of mind to regard a 1200/030/68882 as
- slow...)

- Man is a giddy thing, and this is my conclusion.
