	Currently the Mac has one main advantage over the Amiga
and that is professional software in a wide range of fields.
Apple had better be praying that Commodore doesn't convince a
number of companies to port, which they are desperately trying to
do. Commodore has huge market share in Europe, it is just in the
U.S. that they do so badly. There are almost 2,000,000 Amigas
worldwide, selling at around 750,000 a year and growing. Over 2/3
are in Europe. Apple's new pricing will help, but in the long
wrong the damage to Apple's profits may be severe.
