Also...who says the Amiga has to be the cheapest machine out there?  Cheaper
than their color systems, sure...that almost goes without saying.  But so what
if it costs a little more for an A500 than it does for a Mac Plus.  The the
Plus (and the SE for that matter) don't have color...they don't have a 13"
display...they don't multitask...they don't have coprocessors to speed things
up (so an A500 is considerably faster than either of the two Macs)...and their
memory can't be upgraded as easily as the A500.
 
Quality doesn't come from the bottom line...
