Truly incredible.  You can find any excuse to not like 80x86 machines,
can't you?  $1500 machine?  Too expensive!  $900 machine?  Must be a
piece of junk if it's so cheap!

By your argument, I guess only the truly stupid would consider buying
a Falcon, since it's going to be offered at approximately the same
cost as that clone.  Must not have good parts!

>Ahhh....we are talking about DOS-heads, tho, aren't we?

Now we're talking about insecure Atari owners who feel it necessary to
typecast anyone who buys an 80x86 machine, simply because it runs DOS.
Why don't you try running MACH on your Falcon, if Atari ever sells them
in the States, of course.
