- Perhaps I slightly over-stated my point! Still, an A500 + `020 with 2Mb ram
- is not as good as a base A1200 - would YOU still use DPaint on an A500 rather
- than an A1200? Didn`t think so! :P
-
- Of course, ECS machines *can* be as good in some situations - but AGA is the
- way forward untill we get the PPC. Just a pity that no mid-range AGA machine
- exists - or I could have trounced your argument completely :(( .... Think AT
- will get the hint? and the cash....?
-
- An A3000 is a good machine in comparison to the A4000 with respect to price,
- which is a real shame, and the reason why I'd recommend an A1200 if possible.
- Slots would be nice (possible, but very expensive to add).
-
- Oh well, I can`t expect everyone to actually agree with me - this is
- csa.advocacy after all! ;^)
