I noticed that the mac people in this discussion always compare their more
expansive equipments with amiga 500.      

Why don't you mac-heads be fair for a change and compare the still-more-
expansive mac plus with A500;  and compare A3000 with your high-end-macs.

Personally, I know that I prefer A500.  My reasons are:  I like graphics, 
music, and awsome demos/games.  They are pleasant to watch/hear, and fun to 
play.  I believe that my A500 is good/fair in almost everything. and for you
business-only macintosher types, let me point out that Business if fine, but 
it's not everything.  

I uses my Amiga500 at home, as a 'Personal Computer'.  a personal computer is
NOT only a business computer.  It should be personal enough to entertain you,
please you, help you remember, help your school work, and of course, help you
simplify your business work.

My Macintosh emulator let me do almost everything a overpriced-macSE can
do, with some inconvience (like loading up the emulator first).  But it will
do just fine.  I use the emulator mainly for school work - LightSpeed Pascal,
LightSpeed C.  (But I feel so boxed-in when the emulator is running - I missed
the flexabilities of amiga's multitasking environment.  I am sorry that fellow
mac'ers can't share this, because multifinder is a joke - not meant as an 
insult)

I'm sure you must have a reason for owning your computer.  We all do.  
But, please make sure you are fair in your arguments.  And, learn enough
about the other computer before you immaturely comment about it.

Thank you.
