Well, it's cheaper and higher performance and will certainly remain so
as long as memory prices remain the same. How many people will be able
to afford the 4 megs of memory you need to equal the performance of a
$545 Amiga 500 with 512K (OK, it's only 2 megs for the apple product:
but the price difference between clones and the Maxicost-2 about covers
it).
