;^)  Yeah, they slashed their prices *SO LOW*, they're almost as reasonable

Yeah, right.  Like the Classic is a real advance in the state of the art.

Commodore gave Amiga users an open machine, so now we just add on in order
to upgrade.  We don't have to wait for a new model just to take advantage of
new features.  How many 16-bit Macs have a direct upgrade path to a 68040
designed into the machine?

by IBM's system architecture, so no fair comparing to those poor things.
