Holy deja vu, Batman!  The Joker's missed the biggest scandal of the
quarter.

C-A has announced the 2620, a 68020 with MMU, and Unix to run on it.
Rumour has it that 1.4 will handle VM.

The new monocrome monitor will support 1000x800 in 4 scale and doesn't
require special hardware.

A2000 has a card cage.

2620 will use static ram (2 or 4 M). (I think, but I'm not sure)

The 1000 has hardware grahics support for windowing and graphics.
