   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).

In 5 years, a machine more powerful than the SPARC II will easily sell
for a $1000.  As for what to do with it, use your imagination.
