Also, it seems that Doug Barney is up to more Yeah, I read the 50 Mhz ad with quite a bit of surpise, as I had heard that a 40 Mhz version of the GVP accelerator was not yet available in the U.S. I was impressed that the Amiga can boast 50 Mhz, but as I heard $4k list for a 40 Mhz GVP, my 2000 will be running at 7.14 for quite a while. As to the "Fusion Forty" (their silly name, not mine) I'm glad you saw it too, 'cause I thought I was dreaming.
