You're wrong.  I've seen it.  I stand by my opinion.

This is a joke.  Buying a 68000-based Mac at this point is the biggest
waste of money imaginable, considering that Apple's new System releases
will require at least a 68020 to be used to their full potential.  And
considering its ridiculous little screen, you'll have to use the Mac's
"totally awesome and radical" virtual monitor capabilities just to make
it into a useable system.

Are you sure you're talking 'low-end' here?  An 8086 clone with a hard
disk will go for under $800.
