Now, this is just a random thought of mine, but did anyone stop to think that
CBM *IS* making a full-fledged 68020/30 machine and isn't telling anyone 
about it?

Does the name Osbourne ring a bell??  This might be a smart move on CBM's 
part, after all, if they let leak a 68020 machine at less than $2500 is coming
later this year (THIS IS HYPOTHETICAL!!!) do you think anyone would go
out and buy A2000's??  A company has to make money before it can put it into
R & D.
