Utter bullshit!

Dave was merely giving us insight into architectural differences between the
Next and Amiga computers. This kind of stupid allegations that people like you
keep making are the cause that certain people have refrained from making any
more technical statements on the net.

It is only logical to deduce that perhaps at some time in the distant future,
when the cost of the 68040 drops to $100 or so from the current $700, that
Commodore might consider coming out with an '040 based machine. But until then,
don't start inventing stupid, and very dangerous, rumors.
