>Look at the article where Pleasance talks about this stuff. He says this >machine is going to be an "Amiga Power-Pentium". I've heard of Power-PC, >and Pentium…. What's a "Power-Pentium"? This is the sort of thing >that I mean when I said he doesn't know what he's talking about. You haven't read the article very clearly have you. It was Amiga Format who said, and I quote, …. "So what your talking about is an Amiga Power-Pentium [RISC based PC] machine?" to which David response was, YES. This does not MEAN that it WILL be a "power-pentium", it was a round about way of saying it will be based on RISC technology. You have to read a little into what was being said… don't take what was being printed at face value…. what was happening here was that Amiga Format were "fishing" for information, all that David implied with this response, was that YES Commodore are going to be moving to some sort of RISC based computer at some point in the future. It's as simple as that. This might not change your opinion on him, but I feel you have misinterpreted what was being said. Tim On AutoPilot Over Hong Kong
