Could be the Eyetech add which puts us off. 030+16Meg=£92 inc p&p
160MHz 603PPC & 040/25+64Meg+ Bvision+Monitor+SF/FF=£850 inc p&p
chuck in a tower and we are talking around the thousand pound mark, quite an
add-on to a £100 computer.Not that I'm saying the results aren't worth it
but most peaple equipped with 030AGA systems at the mo are probably just
like me we upgrade when we can afford it. In my case by the time I've got
the money together I'll be able to choose between the BPPC the amijoe or the
new Amiga , I suspect that I'll go for the amiga as the Classic is getting
too expensive a proposition in minimum tech maintenance upkeep.
