Yoshikawa) Newsgroups: comp.sys.amiga Subject: Re: '030 Ami vs '040 NeXT Message-ID: Date: 7 Dec 90 17:18:33 GMT Organization: Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 24 YKY, You keep on stating the fact that the 040 next is 3000-3500--its 3170.00 This NeXT has 104 mb drive, 040, 8mb ram, 1 floppy, bw display. (Correct me if I am wrong, which it seems you are fond of doing since you have all of the answers--If you didn't detect the sarcasm--look again) In order to compare the 040 to the 030, at least make sure most of the specs match up. Use the price of the NeXT color (NeXTstation Color) which can display 12 bit color (like the Amiga) --$5500 'FOR EDUCATIONAL BUYERS'. compared to the 3000UX for educational buyers. The 040, if released would be the AMI4000 which would utilize the 040 on the motherboard, as compared to a conceivable 040 add-on Ami3500 which would not. I realize you are defending your computer (which you don't even have yet), but please don't be an a** about it. We can all read the facts from several magazines. The last time I checked, this was comp.sys.amiga not comp.sys.next.vs.amiga. So lets quit the system wars and go on about the Amiga discussion. Thankyou, Chad
