	A 50 Mhz 68030 blows away any intel chip to date.(You can say
i'm partial to Motorola chips because i work for them :) ).I hear INTEL
is comming out with a faster 486 at around 40Mhz+ speed.Meanwhile
Motorola is just releasing the 040 cpu that puts INTEL even further behind.
If you're intersted in performance of the Amiga equipped with fast 030's
the currant Amazing Computing has performance results of several 030 boards.

p.s. I'll never be in an apple commerical.I think mac's are too $$$$$.
