I am the owner of an //e and a mac, hopefully I will own an Amiga soon!.

- I beg to differ you on a few points.  True when you compare a middle of the
line Amiga with a top of the line Mac, the Mac wil outperform the Amiga. 
However the Amiga is not an Mac clone, although it can be, jsut as it can be
PC compatable.  The Amiga has it's own peice of the personal computer market.
 
Just looking at the bottom of the line the Amiga 500.  It has the same
processor as the  bottom of the barrel mac, with the color of the //GS, built
in 4 voice sound(the GS has it beat there), built in speech synth.,
MULTITASKING built into the DOS which neither the Macs or // have!
^^^^^^^^^^^^
True the 500's memory is limited but they do make memory expansion boards for
it memory expansion slot (like //GS), and it also has a advanced processor slot
for the 68030, and math co-processor).  

And as you move up to 2000 and to 3000 (which do have true 32-bit expansion
slots) the list of options just get better and better.  Like not only do they
have a slot for a card to make the Amiga PC compatable but it actually has PC
slots for PC/AT expansion boards.  And at a very reasonalbe price to!

But rather than use more Bandwith, why don't you just go to a local Amiga store
and take a look at one.  That's what I did and I will probably never buy an
Apple product Again!
