- Now here is an example of market forces at work.
- Who uses the 68030? A lot of closed-box-high-priced systems.
- And we're talking $300 just for the CPU.

- Now look at the 80386 -40 (or Intel -33, whatever).
- Who uses this CPU? many many open MS-DOS/Unix/whatever systems.
- Cost for the motherboard and CPU? -> $225.
-
- Class dismissed.
