	Au contraire - the Amiga is by far the best
	as far as pocketbook and eye to the future is
	concerned. It has definitely the most useful
	real-time multitasking O/S, plus decent onboard
	sound chip support for previewing your work,
	etc. Because of the extensive multimedia
	support available for these machines, the
	amount of hardware/software available is
	already extremely impressive, so in future
	when you want to combine sound and image in
	creative forms, the Amiga will be in the
	forefront of that area. Also, as a rough
	measure, most Amiga software/hardware prices
	are roughly 50-60% of mac equivalents, for
	example.

	etc...
