What kind of emulation?  You can get XT eumlation on Amiga for $30.  You can
get AT emulation for $300, and I hear tell that C= is working on a 386  bboard
which will display VGA graphics in a window under Intuition.

I am sure all computers will be RISC before too long.  Sun is good ...so I
hear.  But there are some advatages to an Amiga Unix system for some people.
A multitasking native OS is one big one.  I had a friend over last night who
sells Mac and showed him a new PD floppy disk archiver I got and he said he
just sold one about like it to one of his Mac customers for $100.

What kind of money are we talking about?

Heck!  I want one of them Silicon Graphics Workstations and the second I 
have a spare $20,000, I'm gonna get one.  Then I can start working on
buying some software for it.
