   However, I'm disappointed with the entertainment/sound/video. I have
   just been shocked at seeing a friend's Amiga 500, with its mere 7MHz
   68000, for crying out loud, BLOW AWAY my 68030 Mac with the Amiga video
   clippings, sound/music emulation, and GAMES. (The color version of
   Falcon put my Mac version to shame!) And he had *hundreds* of cool
   games compared to maybe 4 comparable Mac games.

   What's the deal? My friend says that it's because it has built-in
   graphics co-processors.

What's even more amazing is that the Amiga has been around since 1984.
I guess that's why people start up flame wars.  It's 1991 and your
just getting the news.  Personally, I can't believe Commodore made it
this far.
