- Sometimes it comes to my mind that you guys are sitting on

- They won`t devellop a new machine. There would be
- PowerAMIGAS soon. The price for a new machine which will
- be replaced a year later is to high.

- For that they must change the Chip Design of one Chip in the
- Amiga. I think they wouldn`t do this cause the Custum Chips
- are obviously not used for the PowerAmigas. So why change a
- whole Chip for a Computer which is available for only a year
- or less.

- It is all *so* *cheap*. But if you sum it up you can see
- that it is more than thought.
