- I fully agree, except that you leave some reality out of the picture: I use
- a reasonably well equipped A4000 (2+8 MB RAM, 68EC030/25 MHz, 68882/25 Mhz FPU),
- but would desperately like to get my hands on a 68060 board. However, the
- price point of such a board (apart from availability) is ten times the
- amount of a comparable PC motherboard, an amount I (and most Amiga users) simply
- don't have at my disposal at the moment. The same goes for a graphics card.
-
- I would venture that this goes even more for people using an A1200, their
- budget obviously dictates a low-end machine.
-
- It's up to AT to bring the Amiga back into the limelight and lean upon
- margins, otherwise no amount of professional software is going to help the
- situation.
