- This whole debate (Amiga "Walker" at $1000+ vs Power Mac at about $1000)
- is a SILLY debate for one big reason:
-
- Amigas are VAPORWARE, for all intents and purposes. Amiga Technologies
- can't even send North America Amiga 1200s, even though the first "grey
- market" units were promised last October. If AT is unable/incapable/
- unwilling to ship us lowly Amiga 1200s, I'm sure they will be even more
- unable/incapable/unwilling to send us new models.
-
- Who cares is an Amiga Walker package is $200 or $2000 or $200000...if
- it's vaporware, it doesn't matter. Comparing Macs to Amigas is not like
- comparing apples and oranges (no pun intended)..at least apples and
- oranges EXIST in the grocery store to be compared.
