- Geeez, Ed. Compared to what? Your TT? Your 486-66DX2? Your SGI? Your Cray?
-
- Sure, a 16MHz 68030 is far from the top of the heap in the speed race. But it
- will be considerably faster than the 8MHz ST/STe or the 16MHz MSTe and will be
- cheaper than a TT with lots of extra goodies thrown in to boot. I am more
- than a little uneasy about Atari's marketing plan (plan?) for this beastie,
- but make no mistake, it will be a nice little machine for the money.... when
- and _if_ you can buy one!
