True, but at least (1) any Amiga will let you work in colour from the word go, (2) any Amiga will let you mutitask (I have a 2MB A-2000, so that may not be so easy for 500 owners...), (3) Amigas do not have the annoying habit of announcing "SORRY! A SYSTEM ERROR OCCURRED!" and shutting down without giving one a chance to find out what is wrong. Incidentally, does the Mac Classic have one or two drives? Nothing pisses me off more than switching disks on a single-drive Mac. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |"The Universe Is One Big Padded Cell; I'm Just Trying To Bounce Off The Wall."||Scott Marshall/850117m@aucs.ca/Box 6241/ASU/Wolfville/NS/Canada/B0P 1Z1/ |--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
