This is a pre-emptive posting.  I've received some e-mail since I posted
the fact that the Amiga 3000ux does not match the performance of the new
NeXTs and I want to address the major point made in that e-mail before
people begin posting the same stuff here.

People complained that it is not fair to compare a an 040 NeXT to an 030
Amiga 3000ux.  I agree, but not for the reason you may think.  The comparison
is not fair because the Amiga 3000ux is vaporware, while the 040 NeXTs have
shipped.  Thus, a NeXT is available today that is much faster than a
promised, but not yet even announced, Amiga 3000ux (if we're to believe
what Motorola says about the comparative speeds of their 030 and 040s). 

Yes, there will eventually be an 040 Amiga.  But at what price and when?
Kind of seems senseless speculating about this when we don't even know the
retail price and release date of the 030 Amiga 3000ux!
