- Geez, I guess I have to go home and tell my 16 MHz 030 that it's beyond

- Seriously: get off the clonehead mentality for a moment. A 030/40Mhz is
- more than adequate for the VAST majority of any computing task I can
- think of at the moment, as long as it's done ON an Amiga. True, 40 MHz
- would make it hard to even BOOT windows, but that's the advantage of a
- superior OS. If I want Windows, I'll go buy a clone.

- Do me a favor: don't make me and other people pay for the ego trips of a
- few people who equate megahertz to self-image. The base system at 40 MHz
- is just fine for quite a lot of people, and those people that NEED more
- power (never said they didn't exist) can PAY for it and keep the rest of
- us out of it.
