   Naw, I would be interested in comparing the Amiga to the SPARC, maybe you
   should get the nExt vs SPARC going in comp.sys.next, I'll read about it
   there, honest.

I was just making the point that the low-end NeXT is a better deal
than the low-end Sparc, so if the Amiga beats the NeXT, as so many of
you have concluded, why bother comparing the Sparc and the Amiga?

But something that you might want to think about?  Sun used the 68030
in their last generation of machines.  They have been pushing the
Sparc architecture for a couple of years now.
