First of all, this discussion is out of hand.  There is no need to
start "flame wars" in the Mac areas.  Stupid, pointless, and will lead
to nothing but hard feelings.

As for my personal views on the Amiga, send email. ;)  Yes, it's a nice
Nintendo replacement or dumb terminal.

But, when you attack that Mac and say "It takes nothing (NOTHING!) to emulate
a Mac on the Amiga," you are dead wrong.  It takes Mac ROMs -- which you need
to pull from a Macintosh and put in a dinky little box connected to
your Amiga.  

Unfortunately, there are assholes out there that have the Mac ROMs dumped
to disk and pirate (distribute over BBSs) along with A-MAX II.

I doubt that things run faster than a Mac Plus.  The Amiga just doesn't
seem "up to snuff," and anti-Amiga flames are acceptable here,
for it is COMP.SYS.MAC and nothing else.

Please cut out the fighting,
