 If you can find some good solid reasons for Amiga users to convert to the
Atari, your more than welcome to give it a try. However, I find it hard to
believe that you can find faults with a computer that is clearly a better
machine than the ST.

 Didn't we win that war? Sorry, couldn't resist! :)

 I didn't say you did. I have, however, received many messages just on our
local Free-Net from Atari users needing information. Where there is smoke
there is fire, so I thought I'd offer my help to anybody on UseNet. Turns
out that I was right, as many responses have been had. I also got about 20
negative responses, but those don't bother me much.
