I trust you're not speaking of the Mac II which has 640x480 resolution
in 256 colors (higher res cards have already been announced), a
industry standard bus, 16(12)? Mhz. 68020 with an FPP and (eventually)
an MMU?  As for disk space, SCSI disks are available in sizes up
300mb.

Granted it is a little more expensive than the Model 30 but then, why
buy a Model 30 when you can get equivalent or better elsewhere for less
money?

Of course, what really annoys me is that I can't afford either...
