True, this is why it's nice to use a machine that uses a 15 mip 68040
in its base model.  During the NeXT several years, developers can
assume this where the NeXT is concerned, but they will have to develop
for the A500 when they program on the Amiga.  Of course, most
developers probably aren't going to bother with the Amiga at all.
