Gees, i'd like to know where your buying your hardware from? A 486 DX2-66 for
$485, it seems most magazine i see ads in have them for about $1000.  I think a
040 and a DX2-66 are very even, for cost and performmance.

I'll just add one more thing, do you notice how all these IBM v AMIGA wars
start in Amiga areas.  How many of these type of dicussions do you see in IBM
areas?? IBM owners are happy with what they have and feel they dont have to
prove anything to any other machine,can't some Amiga owners start to take that
view and stop these dicussions that crop up every few months!  Both magazines
have good and bad points can't we accept that sooner or later!
