- The A1200 may be a good deal (especially with the MM300), but overall
- the Intel Platform really have major advantages over the Amiga. I would not call
- the 486/66 faster than the A1200 as I have no bases to compare, but the A1200 is
- aging and available is dismal, relatively speaking, and that is the truth. I have
- given my brother instructions to purchase an A1200 at CeBit... Maybe then I will
- see how slow it really is (I currently have A4000 and Multi-processors Intel systems
- and other RISC based systems).
