- Truly incredible. You can find any excuse to not like 80x86 machines,
- can't you? $1500 machine? Too expensive! $900 machine? Must be a
- piece of junk if it's so cheap!
-
- By your argument, I guess only the truly stupid would consider buying
- a Falcon, since it's going to be offered at approximately the same
- cost as that clone. Must not have good parts!

- >Ahhh....we are talking about DOS-heads, tho, aren't we?

- Now we're talking about insecure Atari owners who feel it necessary to
- typecast anyone who buys an 80x86 machine, simply because it runs DOS.
- Why don't you try running MACH on your Falcon, if Atari ever sells them
- in the States, of course.
