- A stock Amiga is slower than a stock Macin high-resolution graphics
- modes. What Amiga can run faster than a Mac in 16.7 million colors without
- an added graphics card? In that case you could add a comparable card to
- the Mac for half the price. BTW, an '040 Mac is selling for about $499.

- Where are the prototypes? Where are the developers that have committed
- to it? Where is the OS for it? By this time in the PowerPC transition,
- Apple already had alpha versions of the PPC version of the MacOS out to
- key developers.

- Mac?

-
- It can run useful software. Try running Descent, Out of the Sun,
- Quickdraw 3d, and Flying Nightmares on the Amiga using your Mac emulation
- software (hint: They only work on PowerMacs). I don't even call running
- 68K Mac software with graphics speeds half that of the the Mac as running
- as well as a Mac. One more thing, try running Marathon full screen, with
- 16-bit sound and graphics at high-resolution on an Amiga.
