Goad them back about prices.  Don't let them tell you Sparcstations are
cheap; they're only cheap compared to *real* workstations ;-) , when
configured as a color standalone system they still aren't below $10K.

Ask them about dealerships (Amiga dealers may be scarce, but Sun
dealers are non-existent).  Ask them about software, availability and
prices - especially prices.  Sparc software still seems to be priced for
the Sun 4's.

Don't expect an Amiga to *ever* look as fast and powerful as a Sparc.
But you don't have to pay that kind of price, either.
