- This sounds like a discussion for comp.sys.acorn.advocacy. Followups have
- been redirected to it.

- To answer your question I think the A3010 & A3020 will take off. They are
- good cheap crunch machines. Something the Amiga suffers from is a serious
- lack of processor grunt in the lower end models like the 500 & 600. This is
- where the Arc has it's strength, and processor grunt is good for more
- serious tasks than games (Although complex simulators benefit from it of
- course. :-) ). Not to mention Amigas have to fight hard to shake off the
- title of games machine whereas Arc appeal to home buyers (parents mostly) by
- being an 'educational' machine...
