Hi there poor ST users
 im back again......
   Firstly, the 520St cannot hardware scroll. It has to move each pixel
individually, alot like an Amstrad.
   The 520 cannot produce 16 voice stereo sound through software.
    It does not have Dynamic Hires- 4096 colours at 704*580.
   It does not have a blitter chip that is used.
   The AMIGA is now outselling the ST in England and America. 
   The Obese Agnus Graphics chip supports resolutions of above 1000*1000
   The 520 can only produce sawtooth sound waves, not sine, or white noise etc.
   The flickering of the screen in called Interlace and doubles the vertical 
  resolution of the screen. without this resolutions of 704*290 are available,
  with it resolutions of 704*580 are available.
   The ST can only use 16 colours in higher resolutions as opposed to 16,32,64   
  and 4096 on the AMIGA.
   It is sick when the new ST `Amiga beater' just doesn't perform as well as
  the Amiga. This also admits that the Amiga is a better computer.
   The ST is only 10% faster than the Amiga however the ST does not have any
  custom chips to carry out complex tasks and leave the 68000 for more pressing
  tasks.
