	From what I hear, the Mac II is 4 times faster than the Mac+. The Mac+
is about half as fast as the Amiga due to video refresh.  Thus, the Mac II is
only twice as fast as a vanila Amiga.  

	Since 68020's are available for the standard Amiga 1000, and I note
here that an Amiga system with a 68020 board + Megs of Ram STILL would cost
*much* LESS than a Mac II, such an Amiga would run at least on par with the
Mac II in terms of processor speed.

	They can put a software coded multi-tasking system in there all
right... If they redesign the operating system.
