I assume you mean me, I'm sorry if I "got on your case" the point is ...

... not that the ST or the Amiga has a comparable *amount* of MIDI software,
only that it has comparable *quality* software. The Amiga has a zillion
paint programs too but if you looked at each one's quality and usability
you would find a lot of overlap. Take the "best" ST MIDI package and
compare it to the "best" Amiga package. Then compare it to the "best"
Mac package and the "best" IBM-PC package. If one system had 8 zillion
lousy packages and 5 good packages, and another had 5 lousy and 5 good
packages, then just compare the good ones who cares how many different
ones there are?

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
