But none of the above combinations (520ST and/or 1040ST and/or Mac+) will
ever run Amiga software (in my book that counts for everything).  Future Mac
software will probably be designed on the Amiga, then ported, because the
Amiga has a real programming environment, plus all the fancy frills like
menus, windows, screens, etc.
