I also saw this in one magazine.  Other magazines have it like this:

		ATARI 520ST ........................... COMMODORE AMIGA
colors:         512                                     4096
color output:   yes                                     yes

It looks like they just screwed up in some publications.

As for misleading advetising, did you know the Amiga has a meg of ram?
That was my first reaction to the ad that says the Amiga has twice as
much memory as a Macintosh.  At least Atari tells you what exactly they
are comparing against.
