I asked the same question on the amiga sub and they were very nice about helping
me out.  It seems that the advantages to the amiga are many--including multi-
tasking and graphics features.  The disadvantages are the number of colors.
The consensus says that if you are looking for a low cost mac, then that's
the wrong way to go.  A mac emulator is availiable, but is somewhat limited in
that it doesn't recognize a hd yet...there were rumors about a new more conprehensive emulator, but it's still only rumors.  If you are looking for an amiga
that can use some mac programs...like excel or writenow or word...then go
with the amiga.

thanks to the amiga people who helped me out (if you are reading this)
