}	In my opinion, STs are nice, simple machines with a good monochrome
}display and a nice, but limited OS; Amiga is a more complex machine
}with a powerfull, state-of-the-art OS and far better colour capabilities.
}And when regarding current sales figures, Amiga is the machine of
}the future, I wouldn't too much on Ataris in this aspect.

}Notice the third word in the paragraph...OPINION.  Obviously this man 
}never EVER owned an ST.  I would contend, that after the equavalent ad ons
}such as a color board/graphics card, in Europe which there are many,
}the ST would look just as nice as an AMIGA machine.  
}
}As for sales, thats funny, a German friend on my floor says thats all there
}are in Germany is Atari's with a few Amiga's sprinkled here and there???
}
}Atari has very healthy markets abroad and just like commodore, Atari has
}yet to take advantage of the USA market.
}
}If you want to do word processing, I hardly think you would have time to
}play a game at the same time.  As for multi tasking, Atari multitasks
}REALISTICALLY.  That is, if you want to print something out, or download
}something or do something else like play music that doesn't require
}your constant interaction there are plenty of options available to help you 
}do these things in the background so you don't waste time so you can do
}something else..like play games.
}
}Really, multitasking is WAY overplayed by AMIGA people.  They are not
}the only people who have multi tasking machines, its just that workbench
}supports this option automatically.  While on the ST its an add on.

Who cares Greg, take it back to your own newsgroup..
