- If it's a pizza box style Amiga I'll be pleasantly surprised. However, if
- it's a variation on the "all-in-one" case of the A500 and A1200, I'll be
- disappointed. Why? Even if it *does* have a Z3 slot, adding an expansion
- chassis to an all-in-one machine is inconvenient and/or ugly. Also, any
- word on what type of expansion it's going to have? Z3? Z2? some other bus?
- What about a processor slot, as a 40 mHz 030 is pitifully slow for today's
- computer market.
-
- And how about HD floppies, faster graphics, better sound? Same ol' slow,
- crappy AGA - unless the press released missed something *big*.
-
- The announcement of this new Amiga sounds a lot like the release of the
- A1200 from C=, only with *less* enhancement than there was from the A500 to
- the A1200. Hopefully AT will surprise us...
