- What an excuse->!! It's 1996 and AT is spending it's scarce Deutche Marks to
- bring an 030 box to the market..What a waste.. An 040 should be the bare
- minimum.. Considering this new Amiga will cost more than the $900 PowerMac
- Performa 6214...

- Smart consumers buy the A3000? Most consumers do not know that the Amiga 3000
- exists and plus they are not available new unless you buy it used. What happens
- when these A3000 needs repairs..Were do you turn to?
