- The Amigaish hardware is dated anyway. There are off the self components
- today that are a lot faster and a lot cheaper than anything that
- AmigaTech can possibly design. There are dedicated companies out there
- that make sound and graphics chips. AT has neither the money nor the
- production facilities to compete with them.

- It's the OS that makes the machine tick, for God's sake! A standard
- PClone today has 10x the CPU and graphics speed of an Amiga, but the
- Amiga can still do things those PClones can't. Why? Because of the OS.
