Folks at apple.com reply to our messages but we can't reply
there.  Here's some mail from and to "lsr@apple.com":

Not impressive?  Let's invert the comparison.  Can a 25 MHz Macintosh
emulate a 16 MHz Amiga?

And before you reply "why would one want to?" I can answer in three
easy steps:

AmigaVision
Disney Animation Studio
Deluxe-Paint III

I'm honestly not trying to start an argument.  As my .sig says,
I use both Macs and Amigas heavily on a daily basis, and I use them
for what each is best at.  Mac for DTP and word processing,
Amiga for video and animation applications.  If an Amiga emulator
was ever introduced for the Mac II, I would buy one as soon as I
could get to the store!  I sure snatched up A-Max as soon as I
could get it.
