ADVERTISING is the key.  The Amiga has always been a better designed
system than the Mac, still is and probably will be.  I have yet to see
a Mac do true multitasking (AND all the features that come with multi-
taksing), do REAL TIME 30fps COLOR animation (ahem.. MacroMind??), and
the list goes on...
But all of those facts mean NOTHING unless people are made aware of them
and how important they are to those people's lives.
I'm glad I made the right choice, and I do everthing possible to make
others do so to.  And I don't have to use PRICE as a weapon!  I don't
have to tell people that the Amiga costs three cents to sell them, all
I do is run DPaint or the like and they get hooked.
