Well, the new Macs were announced today...

Macintosh II, $5500, comes with SIX slots, OPTIONAL with color boards,
  OPTIONAL networking capability, OPTIONAL MS-DOS compatibility, 
  and Unix System V port end of summer. (I thought for $40000 you were 
  going to get COLOR. Well rumors do lie.)

Macintosh SE, Price ?, comes with ONE slot and hard disk.

Oh well, neither fits what I consider will be my next computer:

1. Powerful enough to emulate an Amiga 1000 in real time
2. Offers something more than the Amiga 1000
3. Is multitasking
4. Costs <$2000.
5. Wins my heart

What computer fulfills all of the above points? Well, the A2000 of course.
Looks like my next computer will be an Amiga 2000!

(Of course, I never doubted that. In fact, I don't think Apple could
ever fulfill point 5 above. Commodore always has, with the 4k Pet,
the C64, and the Amiga. (So I am biased, ok!))
