Excuse me, but do you know something about the 3000 that isn't public
knowledge???
 
The thing isn't even out yet, and you're saying it "pales" in comparison to
the Mac...PLEASE!
 
>From what I have on good authority, the A3000 has nothing to worry about.  The
new Mac is, yes, impressive.  And that 24-bit board is nice.  But let's keep
things in perspective.
 
11 coustom chips?  You mean those 6502s they're using to control I/O???  I see
nothing impressive about that.  The chip count on the motherboard is the SAME
as previous Mac ][s.  I'm not sure what they took away, but that's a fact. 
Big deal, they've got a couple of Apple ][s or C64s controlling their
I/O...I'll stick with the Denise and the Paula, even at 7.16MHz.
