View, Ca. Lines: 12 I've seen the same thing. Some of my friends at school were comparing Amigas to IBM 286s/386s. Both bought IBM systems from a local retailer despite everything I told them. Somehow the message isn't getting through. One friend explained that he bought the IBM because you can get a sound card that allows you to play good quality sounds. *great* My other friend bought the IBM because it has good home application (ie word processing etc). I have seen Commodore's ads. An A3000 ad in my school's paper mentions all built-in key capabilities. What can we/C= do to get through to these people that the Amiga is a superior machine?
