I was hoping you weren't gonna say anything like that.  8)
 
Personally, the home market doesn't need anything like a 14 mip 68040, a 
SPARC-2, or an RS-6000...  most businesses probably don't need it either.  
The Amiga is definately in trouble in terms of the scientific field if 
nothing is done about it though (I heard that Commodore is pushing in 
education, engineering, and the scientific fields now that the business 
market is saturated with IBM PC type computers and Macintoshes... have not I 
idea if this has an ounce of truth).
