- Sony can probably fit the PSX HW in there next set of ITV...
- People could licence the U64 HW for some real 3d internet experience
- (when ever this happen :)...

- I think what VIScorp really have now... is THE OS for small computer.
- The other compagnie wont have that luxury, many point to take into

- 68030 are very cheap too, the aga chipset is also suposed to be. but
- look at the walker price.
- And do you think now AT with VIScorp money can build a power'pc' amiga
