- The 060 is a dual edged sword. Many of us believe that it is necessary for
- the Amiga to have a low end and a high end product. With the Walker filling
- the low end (on initially buying it) with it's expandability for users who
- want more ... this seems a great way to go. Then, when the Power Amiga
- comes out, we will have that 'big' machine for power users too!
