Pardon me, but will all this Duet talk, it seems that perhaps none of you have
ever seen AMax on an amiga system.

If you haven't, you may find it interesting that I have seen, with my own eyes,
a friend of mine boot up AMax on his Amiga 1000 (one meg), a one-disk affair,
with no external hardware, set some parameters, and hit go, and WHALA, here
comes a perfect macintosh screen look-alike asking for the system disk.  He
pops in his mac system disk, and whala, up comes the finder.  He ran Macwrite,
macpaint, excel, and some other dandy programs for me.

This alone would be enough reason to go out and buy an Amiga... it emulates
a mac almost perfectly with no additional hardware!  (one note:  If you have
moral problems with using a copy of the actual mac ROM in disk form, created
by a pirate who's name I forget, you will be required to either use the Amax
similar rom provided legally, or buy the amax card and plug in an actual Mac
rom that you obtain yourself.  Also a mac drive is necessary to avoid disk
conversions, buit it's not necessary)...  by the way, full screen mac graphics
are available in interlace mode.

Go buy an amiga... the GS is a lost cause
