- What is this adversion Amiga users have fast computers? I never remember
- Amiga users saying this when the Amiga was about on par with PC's and
- Macs. No we want faster processors so we can do more or the programs
- we have can run faster. Are you really saying those people who use
- Amigas for graphics wouldn't like faster processors?

- New? An '060-50Mhz processor in an Amiga only makes the Amiga run twice
- as fast as an '040-28 (according to Amiga Shopper) and the cheapest one
- costs around $1400. But then you still can't run Mac software half as
- fast as the current crop of Macs being sold and you can't run the increasing
- number of PowerMac only apps.
