- On that note, doesn't anyone else see the trend differences between the PC and
- the amiga? PCs are getting cheaper with more bang for the buck at a fast rate
- while the amiga is getting more expensive with less bang for the buck at a
- glacier like rate. This has killed the PC used market and make the amiga one a
- thriving one. Something has got to give here don't you think? Either the
- amiga becomes consumer buyable (amigas now are too expensive to buy used) or it
- gives that up and competes with PCs. Pricing themselves out of the consumer
- market yet not increasing the hardware specs is a losing proposition. Lets
- just hope they make it to the second quarter of 97 (PPC amiga due date).
