IBM and Atari and Apple do not have Jay Miner, I rest my case.  IBM or Apple
might be able to do a quick and dirty imitation of the Amiga at a huge
cost, but they won't until they feel the pressure of large Amiga quantities
in their market.

If you have $2000 to spend, ae you going to shop at K-Mart or a computer
store?  You might educate yourself first, then go to the Computer store
(why do I have the feeling I will see flames about this?)

As long as Amiga and the ST are so wide apart in price, they will not
compete with eachother - but together they might destroy the Mac.

By the way, (no offense intended) it seems to me that the people who ae
so pro ST like to exercise the left half of their brains while the pro
Amiga people exercise the right half.  To the left-half people, monochrome
text in high resolution is appealing.  To the right-half people, high-resolution
color, speech, audio, etc. is appealing.  To each his own, but as a right
brainer, I have a monochrome hi-res (640x400) AT&T PC to satisfy my left
brain, and an Amiga, Commodore 64, and Atari 800 to satisfy my right.
