I'm waiting for that rumoured $30 German 68020 board, and I have been told
I can borrow a 155 MB drive from work.

Yeah, A big screen would be nice, as would "true" color. NeWS would be
kind of nice for the Amiga too.

There are tradeoffs between the Apollo and the Amiga, each has its points,
the Apollo has a nice distributed fie system, the Amiga has faster
graphics than any Apollo I've used (I ran Matts Bouncing Beziers on various
Apollos, none of them are as fast as Amy :-).

Major difference seems to be that the Apollo doesnt GURU!

You get "Access violation" instead. Ah, the joys of protected memory.

(P.S. In case the original poster ticked anybody off, go into comp.sys.atari.st,he was much less kind, he, uhh, basically reamed Atari with a wire brush :-)
