My thoughts exactly. Looking through ads in an Amiga magazine, I can get a 15MHz 68000 for 45 pounds, or a 17MHz 68020 for 300 pounds. There's a big difference there. I can afford the 68000. I can't afford the 68020. And if I'm going for real speed, I could spend over #1000 on a 68030 plus RAM, and would probably be better off going out and buying an Amiga 3000..... Barry.
