    How expandable is the ST?  4 megs max, I thought.  The amiga can go to 9
with no special modifications.

    The only CPU accelerators I've seen for the ST are 16 MHz 68000's.
The amiga's got '020s and 030'S running at up to 28 MHz.

   Nah, I kind of like it.  People send me hate mail & make me feel 
important.
