One the subject of competitiveness and CPU speed, which has been going on at th
e same time, just a thought:

There isn't a computer salesman on this planet who would sell a Mac or IBM/IBM
clone without a hard drive. 40 megs is as standard as memory and a motherboard,
 you don't even think of it as an add-on.

The Amiga has to be the same way. The CPU is pretty quick as it stands, it's di
sk I/O that makes me scream. A 40 meg HD and a RAD:/VD0: would make life MUCH e
asier. Too bad I have an A500... but I'm working on it.
