There is a write-up on the 68040!!! Yeah! It says that Supa will be selling the 68040 for the Amiga 3000 at 995 dollars. (SUPRA I MEAN, not Supa). The thing is faster than a 486 I am told, and Amiga World says that. They said the 68000 goes .35 MIPS, so ther 68040 is 50 times faster than the 68000. If this is all true, this means that a student like me can get mainframe speed for close 3000 dollars with the student deal. Actually it cost about 200 dollars more than that, but hey, it costs less than a NeXT color system. Ya, that is just what I have been waiting for. DIE INTEL, DIE INTEL, CHOKE, CHOKE. Tommorow lets hang IBM!! He is a pretty big dude, I know. :-) >:-) Later
