   So will a Mac IIfx, it'll probably look toy-like long before the
   A3000. No the A3000 will not be the last computer we will own, but
   also, the A3000 will not be the last computer Commodore will ever
   sell. I'm sure the next generation Amiga will be just as impressive
   when it comes out as the A3000 was during its introduction.
   Besides, the reason someone posted that the A3000 can be expanded
   to 1.8GB is because a Macoid didn't even believe the A3000 could be
   expanded to 128MB. If its usefull or not was not relevant to the
   discussion.


The IIfx is already a toy :-).  Actually, read comp.sys.next.  It
seems that the new NeXT due out early next year will use the new 88K
and run at around 50 to 60 mips(the current machine is 12-15 mips).
To put this in perspective, that's around 10 times faster than the
68030.  It looks like NeXT will have it's graphic's coprocessor and
CPU on one chip.  Anyone still unconvinced that NeXT isn't on the
move!?!
