Well, I'm over a barrel.  I finally have the cash to buy a computer, and I
can't decide between a Mac LC and an Amiga 3000.  The Amiga is clearly a
faster computer, and has the multitasking OS to properly use that potential.
But the music world is heavily slanted towards the Macintosh.  The only real
sequencer that properly takes advantage of the Amiga OS (sorry Music-X fans)
is Bars and Pipes Professional.  On the other hand, the Mac has a half dozen
very good sequencing packages available for it, along with a lot of other
interesting software.  Unfortunately, its strictly one-at-a-time, since
MIDI manager would cripple a Mac LC (too bad Mac II's are STILL so expensive).
Well, what should I do?  Any Amiga users out there know something I'm
missing?  How about you Mac users, any comments on compatibility issues
with the LC?  I'm waiting to be enlightened by the collective wisdom of all
who peruse USENET (ok, so its 2:20 am, cut me some slack!).
