	A 68030 machine with a color monitor for $2,200.00 ...
	sounds a bit unbelievable.

    Also, I believe that the IIsi, which looks like it could hurt the
    A3000, is a 16 MHz model, not a 25 MHz.
    
    I bet the street price of the 16 MHz A3000 could easily be tweaked to
    beat Apple's prices.
    
    I do agree that Apple will sell _lots_ of low cost color Macs.  I
    think that this is not necessarily a bad thing for Amiga.
