I have apparently chosen my words hastily, but it's the thought that counts right? What I meant to say was that comparing apples and oranges is futile. Comparing a color system with a monochrome system all the way down to price is unrealistic. Comparing the cheapest monochrome, slotless NeXT to the most expensive Amiga (color, slotted) and wondering why the color, slotted 3000UX costs more is rediculous. Why don't you compare the NeXT slab against a color NeXT Cube and see what the price difference is! What extra features does it have to merit the price difference? Let's be a little more realistic on the comparisons. If the Amiga doesn't have it now, it will soon! *********************************************************** * Jeff Davis * Relax!
