- This is silly. The 68000 on the Amiga is no different than on any other
- 68000 based computer. Yes, the environment is different, but then that's
- what makes an Amiga an Amiga, and a whatchamacallit a whatchamacallit
- (frankly I don't what else is based on a 68000). The world would be a
- pretty boring place if all computers were created alike.
