This is great! I've been watching this little discussion from the sidelines throughly enjoying a good laugh now and again. Yet I thought I'd make a comment about all this 68030 stuff. If anyone even thinks Apple would put a '30 into a macine for less than $3500 dollars they aren't in touch. The idea of a LOW cost chip is to reduce the production of the chip (for Motorla) and to reduce the cost for Apple. A 68000 may be what you want. B'ut it's lots more realistc to expect maybe a 68020 if Motorola really feels like getting rid of what little maybe left. As for color, virtual memory and expansion..etc. Ha, Ha, Ha. I have a SE/30 and I wouldn't reccomend trying that stuff and neither does apple. I think we have lots a people in the audience that have IIcx envy. As it is the aver- age mac owner has too much junk in his system folder to run a decent speed. And paged memory and virtual WON'T help. Enough trumpeting, flames on.
