- I didn't like two things about the conference.
-
- The first thing was when he said if you want better resolution,
- get a TT. I thought that it was sad when he said that because
- it probably means that the 640x480 will be the highest resolutions
- even on the higher-end Falcons. I hope this isn't the case.
-
- I also didn't like the fact that you couldn't replace the 68030
- chip with a 68040 at a later date.
-
- There is one thing for certain though, we all know what the Falcon has,
- but we don't know what it can do. It may have some very hot graphics
- capabilities that we will not believe...
