- Come on, Harv, you've got to be smarter than that. For one thing, Macs
- can use plain-old generic SVGA multisync monitors for the cost of a $15
- adapter. And before you criticize Macs for needing such an adapter, by
- far the vast majority of Amigas also need an adapter to use an SVGA
- monitor; the A3000 is the only Amiga that doesn't, and it has been long
- discontinued. I purchased a generic 15" monitor from Midwest Micro and
- get beautiful results on this PowerMac 6100.
-
- As for the price of a PowerMac system, you are WAY off on that, too.
- Heck, my PowerMac 6100 with 16M of RAM, 256K of level-2 cache, keyboard,
- CD-ROM drive, and monitor cost less than $2000, and that was a year ago.
- The prices have dropped substantially since.
