- Don't know about that but it wouldn't surprise me...

- Well it seems stupid to go for an older processor, especially given the
- problems that Apple have had with the 603.
-
- So long as AT market the Amiga with a fast processor and aim it at the pentium
- market (under 1200 UKP) they should do fine...

- If AT doesn't take advantage of the fact they have such an advanced processor
