I am currently attempting to convince a friend with ample fund that he needs
to purchase an amiga 2000 or 3000. (he already has a 25 mghtz 386 ibm and a
huge plotter...plos on big cardboard things). He uses his IBM for autocad.

He thinks the amiga is only for games. I argued that the amiga is better
suited for CADing because it is graphics orientated. He argued back that
his IBM has a card (he bought for 90$) that gives him like 1024X800 resolution

How can I convince him that amiga could be used just as well for cad? Is
there an amiga program as good as or better than auto-cad? Can someone tell
me some features of an amiga cad that the ibm doesn't have? Or some advantages?

He won't buy an amiga now cause he says ninetendo does the same job. (big
insult) I argued about the 50 mghtz speed of the 3001 for the amiga 2000 and
how the amigas mghtz are a bit faster than ibm (I think..) but he argued back
that for $1000 he can buy a 486 card with a coprocessor to give about 50 mghtz
on the ibm. Anybody out there use amiga for cad?
