Interesting.  I'm (still) a 520ST owner.  I've long since given up any
hope of ever again seeing Atari do anything intelligent in the U.S.
personal computer market, but my current budget doesn't allow for buying
a replacement.  The A3000 is definitely an attractive machine, especially
at the Edu Discount...

But I digress.  I've heard of plenty of Atari owners hopping onto the
Amiga (and IBM and Mac and...) bandwagon.  Has *anyone* ever heard of
*ANYONE* who's ever gone the other direction?  Bought an Amiga, and
been sufficiently dissatisfied/unimpressed to buy an ST?  (Chris Roth,
you may want to fold this little factoid into your decision...)
