"but to laugh at an ad, that REAL PEOPLE say is very truthful is a bit closed
minded isn't it? (That's a real question… if it isn't closed minded please
tell me so.)"
I didn't say the ad was dishonest. Just that it would cost a lot of bucks –
according to the ad – to bring an Amiga/Emplant configuration to the same
capabilities you can purchase as a standalone PowerMac for $1,500 or so.
Please understand that I think the Emplant is an excellent product and for
those who need an 040 accelerator and 24-bit video card for other purposes, a
complete Emplant configuration represents excellent value for occasional
emulation use.
But on a more practical level, buying a standalone Macintosh is a less
expensive way to go than the total Emplant solution of Emplant, 040 accelerator
and 24-bit card.
