- OK, lets think about the 68EC030 for a minute. What if this computer came standard
- with and '060 for, let say, $500 more. How many of you same people would be bitching
- about the price? Many people also wouldn't buy it because the fantastic new 'PowerAmiga'
- is coming soon. The price needs to be kept low, or else AT won't sell anything between now
- and the PPC. I think its a good choice. This CPU keeps the price low for poor
- people (like me) while allowing rich people (like some of you, apparently) to get a
- CPU card (68060 now, PPC soon). I wouldn't jump off a cliff just yet because of this,
- lets get some more info about this new computer before we start complaining.
-
- BTW- Did anyone actually read that an 060 or PPC (eventually) _wouldn't_ be available
- for this computer?
