Ya, I've been thinking about the 060 card, but then I think, gezzz A Grand
just for that,,and that's without NO RAM.  and the SCSI card isn't all that
cheap either!  Is it really worth spending that kind of money on my A1200?
Then I think maybe wait and get a PowerPC card when/if they come out, or just
buy one of them new Amiga's a year or 2 fom now.  Gezzz, If GVP just sold 8
meg simms, it wouldn't be so bad, but I'm sure not going to pay that price for
1 16 meg Simm, not at what Ram prices are going for these days, while GVP
SIMM prices remain the same or incress in price.  Maybe buy some other
030/50mzh board.  There more resonable in price these days.  Woldn't be to
much if I sold this GVP card with the 8 megs on it.  I hate spending money on
Hardware for my Amiga at this point it time, unless it's something that can be
used on say a PC.  like my New 1+ Gig IDE drive, my USR Dual V.Eveything
modem, my HP-Deskjet 660C printer, even my Multi-Scan Monitor would work.
I'm waiting to see what's acually going to happen with the Amiga.  It's
getting harder and harder not to think about buying a PC! Even with all the
problems, and having to relearn how to use a PC after using a Amiga for so
many years now.  Oh well.  I can't afford to buy ANY Computer system at this
point it time anyway, not for a year or so at least.
