The problem I heard is that once you get it up to speed (512K, monitor, etc) it
costs $300 more than a Fat Mac. Of course it DOES more than $300 more than
one too, but who knows that? They're really going to have to push this
machine's special capabilities & hope the software that takes advantage of
that comes out quickly...

Has any magazine got a similar article on the 520?

PS: if it ain't multitasking, it ain't freindly! I hope the Amiga succeeds.
Unfortunately I have to see about the next generation of the da Silva family
before I can do anything for the next generation of the C= family.
