That's  just  awful.   There  is  no  better platform for music than the
Amiga.  If only the  developers  would  see  the  need  for  more  music
software  for the Amiga, we wouldn't need to turn to a Mac emulator that
totally takes over the Amiga.  We're going to get  crushed  by  our  own
hardware.   The  AMAX is one of the worst things that's ever happened to
the Amy.  People now actually consider buying the Amy just for  the  Mac
compatability  (it's  cheaper  than a real Mac!).  What kind of software
support will a machine get if its central selling point is compatability
with  different,  INFERIOR,  machines?   I've  always  been very against
emulators and such.  The Amiga has a very capable operating system  with
with  much more potential than a Mac, more than an IBM comp and not just
for music and art.

We have to get more MIDI software on the  Amy.   A  MultiMedia  computer
needs  good  music software.  Deluxe Music is a toy compared to what I'm
talking about.  Music-X is fantastic, but we need more.   And  lets  not
turn  to  an emulator that makes having Workbench unnecessary because we
want to save money not buying the real thing.
