David, you have taken this rumor somewhat out of context.  The BYTE
editorial says "Commodore ... is preparing new versions of the Amiga.  Some
new Amigas are believed to have 68020s."  What they mean is that some of
these new versions are believed to have 68020 processors, not that 68020s
are being put in the current Amigas in place of 68000s.
