Whaddoyou expect?  NONE of the available machines are absolutely perfect.
Have you spent any time looking at the Mac or ST newsgroups or on various
BBS's?  If you did, you might learn a few things about the grass on the
other side.  For one thing, you'd find that most of the PD software that gets
posted is BINARY.  Now look at the Amiga groups,  mostly SOURCE.  To me that's
a big advantage (I bought it so I could program it, not so it could program
me).  To you perhaps that's a disadvantage (whine, whine, I don't want to
pay $$$ for a compiler).  Sure you could wait for the A2000, but then again,
maybe you should wait for the A3000, or the A4000, they should be even
better yet!  In fact, the longer you wait the better the machines get.
Fancy that!  But jeez, in the meantime, you've got nothing to use.  Oh well.
 Did you ever get pissed because you bought a '84 Toyota, and
then found that the '85's had a talking clock?  Uh oh, now I have to sell the
'84 to get that feature.  You could have waited till '85, but then you would
have had nothing to drive for '84.  You have the same problems when you buy
any other computer, or calculators, VCR's, any INTERESTING product that is
going through hi-tech evolution.

Waiting for the ultimate computer?  Well, just a minute....................
