     I am the owner of an Atari 520ST.  This is a fine machine, but I am 
considering the purchase of a new system.  I am very loyal to Atari, and 
would like to get one of their products, but I think the Amiga line has a 
lot to offer as well.  I would drink dirty motor oil before buying a Mac 
or IBM.

     I am hoping some kind soul out there in Amigaland could give me a 
brief and honest summary of the configurations/capabilities/expandability/
price/etc. of the various products in the Amiga line.  Feel free to include
rumors about future machines, 'cause this purchase can wait if it has to.

     Thanks a bunch.  Hopefully this will provide the info I seek without
having to sift through all the Atari TT vs. A3000 vs. NeXT vs. Mac II flame
wars that really provide little helpful information.  Please respond by 
e-mail, since this newsgroup gets too much traffic for me to keep up.

Happy 1991.  John Thaanum     thaanuj@prism.cs.orst.edu
