I was on relay the other day, and I was quite slighted by what I heard. A mac consultant (also ardent about his 'computer'), who didn't know the expression 'BTW' or what a video toaster was, stated that his mac, which cost him $2000, was better than my A2000, which I got used (only 1 year old) for $850 and monitor for $100 (both are in excellent condition and with many add-ons). I was able to prove him wrong in that comparison. HOWEVER, This ignorant fellow, ruffled as he was, insisted many times that a certain, top of the line, newly released mac had over 1,000,000 colors, cd sound, and several other unbelievable things. He said that mac can emulate amiga software these days. I discussed this with other Amiga users on relay, and they doubted the possibility of the above right off. If such was possible, they state, you'd have to mortgage your house to do so. Even if the mac does it with a truckful of money, they CAN do it. At least, this what that consultant said. He said that he received this information from the macworld (or whatever its name is) and hands-on. My universe will crumble if the above is true. Tell me it's not so!!! - Peter C.
