Sure you can. It must be said that it is a tad more difficult than on the Amiga, but it can be done. As for all the hype about better sound, and 4096 colors there is the STE range. Here in holland you pay about 1100 guilders (about $550) for the Amiga 500, and about 1500 guilders (about $750) for the 1040 STE. You get 512K more for $200, and no rival of the commodore stable as the Amiga 2000 is   about $1500 over here.
