- Hello there Sat!
- You can't even keep away from Uni during Easter can you :-)
-
- Not any more apparently, you either get 603e's which are quicker than the 601s
- or you get a 604 depending on your money.

- Quit shouting...
-
- Yeah but Intel say that their processor has "the power to make PC softeare
- come alive"...
-
- so I tend to take anything they say with a pinch of salt

-
- You have to remember that AT have only been up and running for less than a
- year now, C= managed to do an amazing job of loosing all their suppliers,
- thats why the new 1200 drives have been problematic, so AT has really had to
- start from scratch.
-
- AT are just getting the ball rolling again and getting machines back on the
- shelves. They have never said that the 1200 was their new machine, they are
- just getting some more money in.

-
- Again Sat, they are just getting the money in.
- No money = no development on the new power amigas
-
- A problem does arise when you place old machines back on the shelves and
- announce new ones in less than a year....
-
- People think "Oh I will hang on till the new machines are out", no one buys
- the old machines, company looses money, no more dev. on new machines, company
- goes bust.
-
- Lets hope that this does NOT happen to AT
