- I'm not so sure that advertising is the best thing for the Amiga right now.
- The current models have are certainly less than impressive and the price
- tags are way out of line. The A3000T ad in AmigaWorld looks very nice, but
- it is hard to believe that they actually list the MSRP. Two years ago the
- price would have been competitive, but the rest of the world now has such
- things as 040s, 486s, 24 bit graphics, etc. that the Amiga sorely lacks.

- I wonder if "better late than never" will be true for the Amiga.
