So even I, I'd be curious to hear how you came to that conclusion. On what do you base that claim?? I'd say that the Amiga is not a modern Apple II, but rather a 680x0 based Atari 800. I see very little about the Amiga to lead one to the notion that the Amiga and the Apple II lines are in any way similar. (When I said "values" I didn't mean human values but rather hardware-design values...the erroneous reports that the Amiga is a hackers' machine notwithstanding) ---------------------------------- | MARK A.
