- C'mon folks, let's get real here, OK?
-
- Personally, I don't give a twit if the Falcon has a 32, 16, 8 or 2-3/4 data
- bus... as long as it performs and performs well in consideration of its cost!
-
- That's like saying, I don't like this program because it was written in
- BASIC (or pick your favorite "non-favorite" language). Even though it may be
- the greatest thing since sliced bread you still don't like it? Who cares?
-
- Sure, a lower throughput bus probably would limit the _potential_ of the
- machine, but there _are_ considerations that were made for compatability with
- older ST/STe software. You don't have to like it, but be reasonable.
-
- All IMHO, of course. :)
