No, but it was a factor.  By the way, I *was* aware that it couldn't input
sample sound but can output before I bought the Amiga.  Sorry if my
original article gave mis-impressions there.  I kinda felt being able to
play the samples back is a good 80% of the job.  After all, you can get
by only sampling the input at a fixed rate if you absolutely have to, and
don't have to do input so often that it even has to be done by every 
machine, but you need lots of controls and parameters etc. for the output
side usually.  (if you want to play Beethovens 9th in dog barks that is).
