   Well, at the risk of starting more wars, I'll say the best deal currently
is easily the Amiga system.  The hardware has stopped being totally flakey
now, software is available for this purpose rather cheaply, and they're
easy to find.
   Std. Disclaimer:  I'm not associated with CBM.  Heck, I don't even own
an Amiga, but from my own research, I'd be hard pressed to find a better
deal for this purpose.  As long as the work does not demand _really_ high
resolution, it's the way to go.  IMHO of course.
