Well, it would be nice to have a monitor for your Amiga, which would easily cast the $150 dollars difference. Plus you get access to a lot of professional software, more than the Amiga market could dream about. All I hear about is how great the toaster is, but nobody discusses the price required for a complete set-up, which was discussed in the latest Byte issue to be around $25,000 including an Amiga. This seems far out of reach for your home user. > FOR ALL YOU PEOPLE THINKING OF BUYING MAC'S GO TO YOUR NEAREST AMIGA DEALER > AND PICK YOURSELF UP A REAL COMPUTER... > > Jim Really, for most people, they should figure out what they want to use a computer for before making any decisions. Really, to a majority of people who ask me what computer they should buy, I couldn't recommend an Amiga or Atari over a Mac or IBM clone. Any computer with a 680X0 in it is a real computer!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ryan 'Gozar' Collins Question for IBM Users: rlcollins@miavx1.BITNET |||| Power Without How DO you move/copy a rc1dsanu@miamiu.BITNET / || \ The Price!!
