I was looking through the latest Scientific American, and on the
front inside cover, there's an ad from Motorolla about their new 88K based
"Personal Computers".  There wasn't much objective info in the ad, mostly
marketroid hype and sell-words ("Solutions" agh).  They showed a unit with a 
screen shot which looked like it was running Open Look.  They also mentioned
something called a "Media Engine" chip for graphics and sound.  Sounds pretty
close to the design philosophy of the Amiga.  Anyone know more about this 
thing ?  Is it priced competitively with the A3000UX ?

C'ya,
Jim
