I am not trying to start a flame war.  Lets nip that idea in the bud right
now.  Essentially the amiga and the ST are the same machines, except for the
fact that the Amiga has dedicated blitter and ditital/stereo sound.  Als the
ST has built in SCSI interface and MIDI ports.  There are many times I wished
I had built in SCSI.  I have an A1000 and have to keep slapping new additions
onto the side of my Amiga.  A real pain.  The amiga also has
multitasking/windowing.  The ST runs much faster on floppies.  Both machines
are doomed in the long run if Amiga doesnt detatch from Commodore and the ST
doesnt detatch from Jack Tramiel.  No flames please.  I like both machines.
