I for one am guilty of being an Amiga owner, and I scan
Comp.sources.atari.st from time to time, and c.sys.atari.st when I
finnish scanning the amiga newsgroups (can I be blamed for that?) Yes,
it is because of the similarity of the machines, and I brainstorm on
ideas...

Lately however, i was surprised to learn from this newsgroup that my
amy only has 32 colors... or that 'the WB colors are ugly'.. or that
it crashes every five minute.. or that the processor speed is 1 MHz on
a 2-bitplane screen (i couldn't believe my eyes when I read that a
week or so ago)... 

If I am allowed to tell my opinion on the TT as was presented in
this thread, would I be flamed if I said that I see no difference in
the TT as opposed to a A2500/30 or A2000/30 + ECS? Ok, it has
AppleTalk, but that's still not a big difference.
