     I OWN BOTH THE ST AND AMIGA.  ( so no only one computer flames )

     I'm sure you must be joking and for your sake I hope it is false.  If
the 520st sold for $300 the Amiga would be almost worthless.  So many people
would buy 520's that a huge support market would spring up around it.  The
Amiga maket would be stunted to say the least.  Really the Amiga is nice, 
but it can compete against a $300 st.
