Maybe they are trying to make up for lost time. Just think about this for a minute. $999 for a B/W 68000 computer and $600-700 for a Color Amiga 500 w/ a 68000. Hmmmm. I doubt that software prices on the Mac will drop significantly because of the Classic or the LC. >Mac LC $3,098. 68020 processor. 2 Meg RAM. Hard Disk. Color capabilities. How about 16 mhz Amiga 3000 w/ 68030, 2 megs and 50M HD for $3000 also? >Mac IIsi. $3,769. 68030 processor. 2 Meg RAM. 80 Meg HD. Ok. So Amiga doesn't have a configuration like this. But the 25 mhz with 2 megs and a 50 meg HD is probably around that price or lower. > >Not a very complete discription, but that's all the story said. BTW, do any of the above Mac systems have a math coprocessor? Or Slots? Do they have SuperDrives? How expandable are they? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ======================================================================= ||NeXT- (nekst) N.
