Right, like any company is going to compare a 68040 competitor's machine with
their own 68030 machine, when their competitor has a 68030 version of the same
machine.  That is a completely and totally absurd assertion, Dan.  Did you
drop your brain on the floor before you posted this crazy stuff?

Commodore hasn't released their machine that will be the 68040 NeXT equivalent
yet.  That comparison will not be appropriate until an Amiga has a 68040 in
it.  Until then you can expect to continue to see the 3000 benchmarked against
the 68030 NeXT.  Commodore would be insane to do anything else.
