When you start putting the Amiga into the Unix workstation market, not only does the Amiga seem to be slower than most of its competitors but it is beginning to seem more expensive. It seems to me that Commodore should use the 68040 board for the A3000, not as a way to make a sizable profit, but as a way to make the Amiga 3000 a more desirable machine to own. The increased sales of A3000s will make up for the decrease in per 040 sold profits. Street price of $600 would be great. -- Ethan Ethan Solomita: es1@cunixb.cc.columbia.edu *Iraq += *Kuwait; NumCountries--; and by popular demand... free(Kuwait);
