- <> Talk about missing te point. Everyone keeps going on about how shite the
- <> Walker is with only a 68ec030/40, when its not meant as a truly new
- <> Amiga, just a stop-gap before AmTech goes PPC. Looking at the specs, it
- <> can take both GFX and CPU upgrades - for when the new Amiga's come out,
- <> and PPC and newer GFX chips become available. This will sell, especially
- <> to A1200 owners who haven't bought an accelerator yet. The extra power
- <> is there, and its FAR more upgradeable. For Christ sake, when AmTech do
- <> something that everyone has being crying out for, why does everyone
- <> slagging them off?
- <> It's not a new machine, but a re-designed A1200 (some people are calling
- <> it the Walker 1200!), with the first five upgrades already there - 030
- <> instead of 020, 4MB Fast Ram, Quad speed CD-ROM, Hard Drive, and High
- <> density floppy. Stop maoning and get behind the Amiga, or bugger off and
- <> buy and P100 and run the corporate virus that is Win95.

- Well stated!
