Yah, I noticed that.  Frankly, I'm at a loss to explain it.  One of
the systems reviewed was an Intel box (I think).  I hardly think
ANY Intel box can compete on a price/performance basis (or even just
a performance basis given expenditures don't exceed $10K or so) with
the Amiga 3000 for Multimedia applications.  It is true that the Amiga
lacks software in some areas, but I wasn't aware that the multimedia
area was one of them.  I'm astonished at the A3000's absence.
