I'll match my Amiga 3000 against any MacII except the MACIIfx anyday. It's faster, and cheaper. The only drawback is that there's a lot more business oriented software for the Mac than the Amiga. On the other hand, since I can't afford much software for the Amiga, I'd be able afford much less for the Mac, since the Mac commercial software tends to be pricier. -- bruce@zuhause.mn.org
