     I saw this, too, and really didn't know what to think.  It's like the Mac
user who asks, "what do I need to buy to get true multitasking?"  Why, just
get an Amiga.  If you have to use Mac Stuff, get Amax-II.  You'll get a faster
machine that's still cheaper than a Mac IIxx!
     They were serious about having the Toaster-equipped A2X00 be a PERIPHERAL
to a PC... it was momentarily humorous, then I was angry, now just subtly
depressed.  It's disheartening!  That with their new standards of multimedia
that cost around $10,000 they could have a Toastered, Digiview'ed upgraded
flicker-fixed huge disk drive lotsa memory amiga for a little over HALF that!
